The Quiet Time

"God waits to offer us infinite resources - for the asking and the taking. The quiet time is where the soul grows receptive, where prayer becomes a place of healing - an oasis of peace, where the touch of His presence becomes as real and dramatic as the touch of the woman on the hem of Jesus' garment, where peace flows into our turbulence, where love resolves our resentments, where joy heals our griefs, and where we enter into the process of being known. The quiet time shuts us in with God, the door closes upon us, and then infinite resources flood into our soul. The door opens and we move out, with an increased awareness of God, ready to face a world that knows so little about Him." - Mick Brooks
