You have to know how to hear God to do his will

We are always agitated even in silence

We are going to work with our ears being bombarded by all kinds of sounds: speakers, speakers, vehicle engines, people talking loudly, people communicating on cell phones, etc. All that sound movement is a cause of stress for our psyche, but also for our spirituality.

We need to silence, although, this reality is every day further away from us, because we are immersed in noise. If until some time ago the noise was loud, today, it is psychological. Even when we are not listening to external sounds, our mind takes care of others that are not and our conscience can not calm down.

In times of technology, computers, tablets and cell phones leave us vocally silent, but our mind is always restless and agitated. At all times we have the need to verify our profile on the social network or respond to a message on the 'WhatsApp'. We live immersed in a tumultuous silence of agitations and tasks that require instant answers from us.

Silence? Where are you?

Soon, the silence was losing the essence of not talking to take another place in our life. The sound of the engines of the vehicles is no longer enough, the car horn is silent, the sound is muffled and our mouth does not utter words; the mind is occupied with other languages ​​that rob us of the silence that lost its true nature.

A life of prayer requires deep moments of silence, where we are detached from everything that robs us of external and internal stillness to be connected and connected with God.

The first step towards inner stillness is a prior preparation for the moment of prayer, it is to disconnect ourselves from everything that is not beneficial for our interior recollection. Many times, we will have to take a real inner struggle if we wish to deepen the ways of prayer.

We can not truly communicate with another person if she is talking to us and we are responding to a message on the mobile or updating our profile on the social network. It is evident that when we practice these gestures that are not educated, we are making it clear to the other person that at that moment the most important thing is not her, but what we are doing.

Take everything away from God

In our relationship with God we need to be fully present at that moment, and for that it is necessary to leave aside all that could hinder our encounter.

Turn off your computer or tablet, mute your phone and place it a little out of reach. Listen to a calm and quiet music to calm down. Take a few deep breaths, removing from your lungs all the tensions that your body accumulated throughout the day. Soon, go peace. Calm emotions, fears, rages; he lets himself be flooded by the peace that flows from the heart of God.

If you feel like checking your social network or instant messages on your mobile, remember that there is a moment for everything. Now, you will be with God in prayer, and that occasion deserves all your attention and serenity.
