Elder Budge speaks powerfully of being still and intentional in our gospel learning and worship.
“Perhaps this is why President Nelson has repeatedly pled with us to make time for the Lord in our lives— ‘each and every day.’ He reminds us that ‘quiet time is sacred time—time that will facilitate personal revelation and instill peace.’ But to hear the still voice of the Lord, he counseled, ‘you too must be still.’”
“Likewise, God desires that we approach our time with Him with the same kind of heartfelt devotion. When we do so, our worship becomes an expression of our love for Him.
He yearns for us to commune with Him. On one occasion, after I gave the invocation in a meeting with the First Presidency, President Nelson turned to me and said, “While you were praying, I thought how much God must appreciate when we take time from our busy schedules to acknowledge Him.” It was a simple yet powerful reminder of how much it must mean to Heavenly Father when we pause to commune with Him.”
“You may be thinking, ‘I do not have time for that.’ I have often felt the same. But let me suggest that what may be needed is not necessarily more time but more awareness of and focus on God during the times we already set aside for Him.”
What does "being still" mean to you?
