In waiting upon God, the first thought is of God upon whom
we wait. We enter His presence and feel we need just to be quiet,
so that He, as God, can overshadow us with Himself.
Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken
and stir up in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute
dependence and confident expectation. Wait upon God as a
Living Being, as the Living God, who notices you and is
just longing to fill you with His salvation. Wait on God till you
know you have met Him; prayer will then become so different.
Andrew Murray

Even with those with whom we are most intimate,
there are times when silence is the most comfortable
alternative. Sharing tears or a warm embrace can even be
better than words. And so it is with God. There are times when
we are simply awed into silence before him, needing to be in his
presence, warmed by his loving embrace, listening to his
voice of comfort and grace.
