Scripture (ESV):
Luke 5:16
1 Kings 19:4
1 Kings 19:11-13
Teaching Notes:
- Silence and solitude are practices that allow our soul to catch its breath.
- Noise numbs us. Silence heals us.
- The voice of our Heavenly Father is not condemning, it’s comforting.
- Silence and solitude are sacred.
Reflection Questions:
1. When was the last time you experienced true quiet? How did it make you feel (peaceful, uncomfortable, anxious, refreshed)? What does that reveal about the condition of your soul?
2. What kinds of noise (music, news, social media, busyness, entertainment) do you use to fill the silence in your life? Why do you think silence feels so difficult or unnatural?
3. Luke 5:16 says, “But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.” What would it look like for you to follow Jesus’ example and make space for silence and solitude regularly? What might need to change in your routine to make that possible?
4. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah didn’t find God in the wind, earthquake, or fire but in a whisper. What does that teach you about how God speaks? How can you more frequently put yourself in position to hear Him?
5. What are some noises in your life that might be numbing your heart to God’s healing presence? What would it take to begin turning down that volume?
