Listening I feel enlightened by pure silence, and I feel blessed by its presence. So needing to hear only the absence of all sound in order to be close to You."
" Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. When I said, my foot slippeth; Thy mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul."
(Psalm 94: 17-19)

"Silent Sounds in the Night"
Silent sounds echo forth from this night. The movement of angelic wings whisper in the night. Oh Lord, majestic is Your creation. Sounds so silent, only the observant listener can hear the echoing strains in the night. A peaceful silence echoes forth, stillness so serene to the ear and mind. Sweet is Your presence, Oh Lord, like unto the movement of the wispy hummingbird''s wings. So fast and quick yet silent in it''s own way. Moonlight strains to shine forth through this night, silently lighting the hidden mysteries of the stillness in this night. Always giving evidence and proof that You are Creator of all. You created the light from the darkness thus is day, remaining still a part of the night. Oh silence in the night, you existed long ago before I was born. Night echoes forth back to the beginning of creation. Sounds that are so serene and meaningful only to the one who seeks to understand from whence they came. Listening I feel enlightened by pure silence, and I feel blessed by its presence. So needing to hear only the absence of all sound in order to be close to You. No distractions, just total trust and confidence that You are here and ever present in the still of this night. In the night I look forward always to hearing Your voice. I willingly receive Your will for myself and Your guiding ways to be able to tell the truth as it is known by You, Oh Lord. I will be ever ready to follow and obey You, Oh mighty Lord. Echo forth in the silent sounds of this night. I obey and receive. Command me, Oh Lord, in Your ways. Give me understanding, discernment and show me the ways of Thy holiness. Teacher of the Laws, show me obedience to the truths and direction of the road to follow. Oh, praise be Your name above all others. Glory and honor are Yours alone. Creator of the night that envelops me with the silent sounds of love that I feel; have Thy way. In this silent night I await Your will upon my very own life. Blest be Your divine name. Silently listening in the still of this night...

The problem with the world today is that people refuse to take time and smell the proverbial roses. I have found personally that reading inspirational writings such as those of yours reduses the stress level in my life and gives me a boost to go on. True God is waiting there in the wings to have that same fellowship with anyone who will dare to come to Him as you do so easily.
Thank You for listening and sharing with us.
