Did you accept our challenge last week?  How did you get on sitting in silence?

There is so much noise in our lives that God sometimes gets drowned out.  If we look at the way Jesus lived we can see that He took time out to spend with God, and for this time He went away from all the bussle of the disciples and spent time alone with God (e.g. Mark 1 v35)  When you are talking to a friend in person or on the phone you try to find a place where you can hear the person you are talking to, and it should be the same when you are talking to God. 

So your new challenge this week is to spend 10 minutes with God everyday in silence.  Pray, read your bible, pray, and listen to hear God speaking to you.  Let us know how you get on by leaving a comment.

 P.S. Some of you may have heard of a series of DVDs called Nooma DVDs.  They are presented by a guy called Rob Bell, and the one entitled ‘Noise’ covers this issue, but make sure you watch it the WHOLE way through….
