7 Places to Pray & Find Silence
Making time and space for silence to hear from and connect to God is essential in the life of a believer in Christ. Find 7 places to pray and find silence to connect with God below.
Local park:
Parks can be a space to get some peace and quiet in the busy city. You may have to experiment with the time and the exact location to find the silence you’re looking for, but your local park can be a good place to start.
The beach:
Especially if you go early, the beach can be a great place to find silence and meet God through His creation.
Special part of your house/yard:
Perhaps you can find silence to pray and connect with God in your own home. Find or create a quiet space in your house or yard and make it the place you go specifically to connect with God.
A Retreat Center:
Dedicated spaces to find silence or grow spiritually, these places are literally made for silence.
Mountains/national park:
A grander gesture depending on where you live and how accessible these locations are, but one where it’s likely easy to find profound silence.
Botanical gardens:
Surrounded by colors and vibrant flora, these are often quiet spaces where you can practice silence and prayer.
Rise early/stay up late:
This of course isn’t a location, but you’ll find more quiet places and spaces if you’re willing to get up early. The morning hours are usually peaceful, and are a great opportunity to experience silence wherever you are. Late nights also can be a good opportunity for silence if you’re less of an early bird.
