I had loved noise and activity and being around crowds  of people. Suddenly, my tolerance for clamor evaporated. I had to find  time alone. The first time I went away on a retreat to practice spiritual  solitude my goal was not to be needed by anyone. But what awaited me  was a surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:100%;color:#333333;\">The first day I knelt  in a quiet room overlooking a rose garden. I was acquainted with practicing  God\u2019s presence, seeking God in a waiting posture, not asking for anything.  So I did that until the silence became nearly deafening. Restlessness  set in. I paced. After two days of solitude, I moved out to the rose  gardens where I journaled. By the third day, though, I was finally beginning  to relax and become accustomed to the silence. That is when I first  noticed God speaking to me. Had he been doing that all along? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:100%;color:#333333;\">Next God showed me the  condition of my own soul. Realize women are already innately racked  with guilt. But when God examined me, I sensed a benevolent soul hovering  over me, guiding me to understand why I stumble or why I keep taking  the same hills. It was a necessary examination. Next came the realization  of those whom I had wounded. The latter part of that confessional practice\u2014recognizing  those I\u2019ve wounded&#8211;had eluded me most of the time because I lived  in a continual clamor. So as I began to repent, a deep sense of sorrow  followed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:100%;color:#333333;\">From that time on, I  began to find creative ways to practice solitude in God\u2019s presence.  When I left behind the noise of everyday life, I realized God has been  talking to me when I thought he had fallen cruelly silent. But the noisy  place where I lived prevented me from hearing him. I realized that when  I\u2019m home and allowing my life to spin out of the busyness of activities,  I can easily adopt pseudo-spirituality. I justify my actions, anger,  judgmental attitudes if I measure my life by the life of other flawed  humans. But when I seek him in solitude, then I no longer have others  around me as my measuring stick, just the measure of my own sin-sick  life against the radiance of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:100%;color:#333333;\">In the past, I would  breathe a quick prayer in the morning, rattle off a generic \u201cforgive  me of all my sins,\u201d and then hit the day, guns-a-blazing. But what  I learned through this new practice of solitude was my own need to offer  up everything to God for his examination. The more I practiced it, the  more I found myself inviting his examination of me throughout the day.  And that is when I discovered an amazing lightness of being I had not  known in all of my striving\u2014a condition the Bible calls God\u2019s \u201cperfect  peace.\u201d In my most desperate hour, I finally understood what scripture  means by God\u2019s \u201cgentle whisper.\u201d  <\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-size:100%;\"><i>&#8220;The Lord said, &#8216;Go out and stand  on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to  pass by.&#8217; Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and  shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind.  After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the  earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in  the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper  \u2026 &#8221; (1 Kings 19: 11-13)<\/i><\/span> &#8211;Patricia<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for sharing so candidly, Patricia. Perfect peace is attractive to us all in this hasty, bizzy world. Your &#8220;guns-ablazing&#8221; definitely matches my style. I don&#8217;t often seek God in silence.
