How To Be Still For The Presence Of The Lord

Here are a few tips on being still:

Go to a place where you won’t be distracted, disturbed or interrupted.

Go with a purpose and intention to have some “alone” time with God.  “Enter your closet” as Jesus said.  Matthew 6:6

Go with faith filled expectation.  Every one who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.  Hebrews 11:6

Go when you are rested, awake and alert.  If you’re tired from a long day of work, stillness will likely put you to sleep.

Go without preconceived notions and ideas about how God will speak, show up, etc.

Go with the understanding that God most often speaks in a flood of thoughts that come into your mind.

Go prepared to take notes.  There’s nothing worse than trying to remember what God has said and being afraid you might forget something.

Go without judgement.  Don’t try to judge every thought to see if it’s from God.  That’s a trap that will interrupt your time in God’s presence.

Go often.  There’s nothing like consistent communication to build an amazing relationship.
