We are bombarded with noise, both external and internal so much so that we can rarely remember that last time we were silent. The enemy of your soul knows that the best way to keep you from experiencing God's presence and voice is to keep the actual and figurative noise level our lives constantly humming. Jesus modeled a resistance practice for us often going into the wilderness (eremos) as a place for silence and solitude with His Father. The eremos (wherever that is for you) is a place to find strength and intimacy so like Jesus you may find strength for the work ahead.
