Being useless and silent in the presence of God belongs to the core of
all prayer. In the beginning, we often hear our own unruly inner noises more
loudly than God’s voice. This is at times very hard to tolerate. But slowly,
very slowly, we discover that the silent time makes us quiet and deepens our
awareness of ourselves and God. Then, very soon, we start to miss these moments
when we are deprived of them, and before we are fully aware of it, an inner
momentum has developed that draws us more and more into silence and closer to
that still point where God speaks to us.
Henri Nouwen
