This blog is for those seasons when the heart feels pulled toward quiet, and you want the scriptures to help you understand why that pull may be holy.
There comes a season in many people’s walk with Jesus
when noise begins to feel heavy
and silence begins to feel safe.
You don’t lose interest in truth.
You don’t stop caring about others.
You just feel less drawn to constant discussion, explanation, and activity.
And sometimes that makes people nervous.
They may wonder what’s happening to you.
You may even wonder yourself.
But the draw toward silence is often not withdrawal.
It is deepening.
🌱 God Has Always Met People in Quiet Places
Throughout scripture, the Lord often meets His people
away from crowds and noise.
Elijah learned this when he expected God in power and spectacle.
“And after the fire a still small voice.”
(1 Kings 19:12)
The Lord was not absent in the wind or the fire —
but He chose to speak in stillness.
Silence is not where God disappears.
It is often where He waits.
📖 Jesus Himself Sought Silence
Jesus did not live in constant activity.
He stepped away.
He withdrew from crowds.
He prayed alone.
“And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.”
(Luke 5:16)
If the Son of God needed quiet places,
we should not be surprised when we do too.
Silence was not escape for Jesus.
It was communion.
🌿 The Book of Mormon: Pondering in the Heart
The Book of Mormon honors this kind of quiet faith.
Nephi often speaks of pondering —
not rushing,
not reacting,
but holding things in the heart.
“My soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them.”
(2 Nephi 4:15)
Pondering requires space.
It requires quiet.
It cannot happen in constant noise.
Sometimes silence is simply the soul making room.
🔥 The Nemenhah Records: Silence as Sacred Space
The Nemenhah teachings speak with deep respect for silence.
The elders teach that silence is not emptiness —
it is listening ground.
The Peacemaker does not compete with noise.
He speaks where the heart has slowed enough to hear.
Those who walk the Way are taught to honor quiet seasons,
to step back from constant speaking,
and to allow the Haymehnay (Holy Spirit) to work inwardly,
where words cannot reach.
Silence is treated as sacred space, not avoidance.
🌱 When Silence Feels Like Home
If you find yourself:
• less interested in debates
• less eager to explain your beliefs
• more comfortable listening than speaking
You may not be withdrawing.
You may be settling.
Settling into peace.
Settling into trust.
Settling into a quieter companionship with Jesus.
The Psalmist understood this well:
“Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned.”
(Psalm 131:2)
There is a maturity that comes
when the soul no longer needs constant stimulation.
🕊️ Walking With Jesus Without Needing Noise
One of the fruits of walking with Jesus
is learning that you don’t need to fill every space with words.
Silence allows love to breathe.
Silence allows truth to settle.
Silence allows God to lead without interruption.
If you’re being drawn into quiet right now,
don’t resist it.
Just stay close.
Jesus is very comfortable in silence.
🌿 A Gentle Word
You don’t owe the world a constant explanation.
You don’t owe anyone a running commentary on your faith.
If silence is where you meet Jesus most clearly right now,
then silence is where you belong.
Walking with Him does not require volume.
It requires presence.
