We must leave our inner turmoil in order to find God. Even in the greatest of commotion, we can remain silent because of the depth of our relationship with God. I thought of an “opposite analogy” whereby when we are going through a period of sadness, we do not hear what is going on around us – everything else seems to stop. The same is true even in the everyday busyness of life. God can keep us keenly aware of His presence during the commotion and reminding us of how much He loves us – His voice speaks from within. The word of the day is "turmoil."
