In the book The
Phenomenology of Prayer by Bruce Benson and Norman Wirzba it is said “We
cannot listen very well to the voice of God if we are chattering ourselves or
even if we merely keep ourselves surrounded by noise” (20). This quote is important
to many who don’t understand that, in order to listen to God, creation of
sanctuary is important to listen to the world. While some say God speaks directly
to people, I believe God speaks through occurrences and nature. Benson and
Wirzba later explain “If you choose to speak, God must fall Silent” (20). This reaction
is to show the importance of listening. Through listening you will see the true
language of god, no longer an un-decipherable conversation. Sitting at home, in
the wilderness, or even in a foreign place, the word of God can be heard if you
listen.
