Solitude + Silence

Read Matthew 11:25-28. Use these questions to help you consider the spiritual rhythms of solitude and silence this week, individually and with others.

• In what areas of life do you feel especially hurried or tired?

• When was the last time you remember experiencing peace and quiet with God that refreshed you in strength and perspective? Describe it.

• What kind of places help you settle down and experience quiet refreshment?

• What would it look like to visit and revisit a place like that in the rhythm of your everyday life for peace and quiet? Be realistic.

• After some quiet, write and say a prayer surrendering your burdens and relying on the strength and perspective of God.
