Retreat into silence
when you are overwhelmed
when you are overextended
when you are overcome
by thoughts
emotions
desires
fears
expectations
retreat into silence
retreat into love
find rest in the Lord
make Him your refuge
your shelter
your comfort
retreat to your inner room
He is waiting for you there
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
Reflection:
When life feels overwhelming, what would it look like for you to intentionally retreat into silence and entrust your fears and desires to God?
Scripture:
“But when you pray, go into your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret.” — Matthew 6:6
