Creating Inner Quietness
In his book
Celebration of Discipline, Richard Foster speaks of busyness:
“In contemporary society our Adversary majors in three things: noise, hurry, and crowds. If he can keep us engaged in ‘muchness,’ he will rest satisfied.” How does it look like in today’s living?
The same, and through the face of Digital Media. From the minute we wake up in the morning, until the last moment before we close our eyes at night, they direct our mind on this one subject - Digital Media. We eat, walk and socialize with it, and have become oblivious of the real world around us. We have become indifferent.
We are ignorant of how we grant the Media to bombard our views and hinder our spiritual air-ways. It has so influenced our lives; we have become deaf and consequently ignorant to our God.
Quieting our outer-self has now become more urgent for the inner-self. Creating a space and place where we can come before God with open airways. Over the years I have practiced the habit of not turning my phone on before I had breakfast and my quiet time. The few times where I had my phone on early mornings, just made my whole being to move in overdrive where I battled to quiet myself in prayer. I found myself to be unfocused, and with thoughts running wild.
When we come to God, we need to create an atmosphere in our hearts where we are prepared to receive from Him and extend our absolute attention to Him. Our hearts to be in a Spiritual quietness - peaceful until He becomes our priority, our routine will look the same. Come near to God and He will come near to you. (James 4:8) What are you willing to sacrifice to rekindle this unique love affair between you and Him? He will not contend for our time or attention. " Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. " (Rev. 3:20) He is waiting for us to enter His presence, He always reserves our place next to Him.

Joy comes in the morning From June onward last year, I kept having a thought that filled my heart with joy and renewed hope—“Next year this time, I will hold our new bundle of joy.” It was more than a passing wish; it was a deep, faith-filled expectation, a glimpse of God’s promise for our family. Then, in mid-October, we received the exciting news—my daughter Josie was pregnant! We were overjoyed and amazed at how quickly it had happened. And so, the next season of prayerful waiting began—the gender reveal. I was convinced it would be a boy. In my small, human way of thinking, I assumed God wouldn’t give us another girl again. But how little I understood His ways! It was a girl! How often do we try to predict God’s plans, only to be reminded that His thoughts are higher than ours? As the months went by, however, fear tried to creep in. Again and again, I had to surrender my anxieties and declare, “Lord, I choose to trust You.” Then, in the final trimester, doctors discovered a complication that should have been noticed much earlier. The initial news was overwhelming for both the parents and me, but after consulting with a doctor friend, we were reassured. A conversation with my best friend, whose daughter had faced the same diagnosis just a year earlier, gave me even more peace and clarity. She encouraged me not to let fear cloud my faith. Instead of spreading worry, I chose to keep it in prayer and trust our Heavenly Father. And in that trust, I found total peace about Penelope’s well-being. Then, on June 6th, just a day after my birthday, our beautiful rainbow baby, Penelope, was born—perfect, whole, lacking nothing. This journey reminded me that when we ask God for something, we often expect a smooth and easy process. But faith isn’t just about receiving the promise—it’s about growing through the journey. God builds our trust, strengthens our character, and deepens our dependence on Him. It’s like a birthing experience—sometimes painful, sometimes uncertain, but ultimately, leading to something beautiful. If you’re an expecting mother or facing uncertainty in pregnancy, hold onto faith. God knows the baby He is bringing into your life, and He will equip you for every step ahead.
