I am thankful for silence. This is weird for me, because I usually cannot handle being away from people for too long. I am thankful for days that I get to escape the world, the stress, and the problems to spend hours alone with God. I am thankful for the peace it brings. I am thankful for the reminders it brings that I cannot survive this life without God. I am thankful for the yearning it brings to spend even more time with Him. I am thankful that the second I walk away, I desire to go back to the silence. I am thankful for the fact that I feel like I've gotten nothing done today and I haven't checked anything off my to-do list and yet I am less stressed than I have been all week. I am thankful for quiet days to fall into my Father's arms and just lie there all day and rest in Him. I am thankful for the way my soul feels rested and rejuvenated at the same time. I am thankful for silence in the middle of a world that never stops.
"My soul waits in silence for God only;
From Him is my salvation.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken."
Psalm 62:1
"Cease striving and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

I love this and know exactly how you feel! I have had the privilege to spend a lot of time in the quietness with God these past few weeks. After reading this I've realized I haven't thanked Him enough. You did a wonderful job putting your thoughts into words!! (and I love Psalm 62:1) also verse 2 :)
