Silence and Solitude

I am reading a book by Charles Swindoll called So You Want To Be Like Christ? Its a great book. And one of the things he addresses in this book is silence and solitude. He emphasizes that if we don't quiet ourselves, our lives, and our minds, then we will not be able to sense God's leading and guiding in our lives. For me I thought I could never really quiet myself, or my mind, but I have been trying to. I have found that it is making a big difference. I haven't heard an audible voice from God, but I definitely feel at peace and rest. Its nice.
