But it is the Bible that teaches us to do it. King David prays, ‘May the … meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight’ (Ps. 19:14), and elsewhere he declares, ‘For God alone my soul waits in silence’ (Ps. 62:1, ESV). The Lord himself invites us to ‘Be still, and know that I am God’ (Ps. 46:10).
