In this contemporary era we have adopted a pace that allows us to run past our own souls.  We run off and leave a part of us that was never meant to run.  Our spiritual selves require the therapy of stillness and meditation.  The running noises that we live with deafen more than our ears, they numb and silence our spirit.  When the body outruns the soul, it exacts a toll of depression, anxiety and uneasiness that starts eating at our core.  Pills and chemicals will not fix it.  When we fear silence, we are fearing our own cure.  “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).  When we can’t find a still place, then we have to make one.

“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” Isaiah 40:31 (KJV).
