Finding strength in stillness
Originally published in The Christian Science Monitor’s Christian Science Perspective column April 15, 2025.
In the whirlwind of modern life, stillness often feels elusive. We may feel bombarded with responsibilities, distractions, and an endless stream of noise, both external and internal.
Yet Christian Science has taught me that stillness is not only possible, it is essential. It is in stillness that we truly hear God’s voice and feel His comforting presence.
This became particularly clear to me during a period of intense stress. I was juggling work, family responsibilities, and the demands of personal growth. My prayers during this time felt hurried and shallow, as though I were ticking a box rather than truly communing with God. The result was a deep sense of frustration and exhaustion.
