Day 11: In the Stillness

Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations; I am exalted in the earth.” The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
Psalm 46:10-11

Fasting is more than just giving something up—it’s about creating space to listen.

God’s voice is often described as a gentle whisper, not a shout. In the busyness of life, it’s easy to miss what He’s saying.

This fast is an invitation to lean into the quiet, to become more aware of His presence, and to recognize the ways He is already speaking to you.

Let the quietness of this moment remind you that God longs to meet with you. The more you tune out the noise, the clearer His voice becomes.  

Reflection Questions:

Take a moment in the stillness of your fast today to reflect on these questions:

  1. What am I learning about God’s voice through this time of fasting?
  2. How can I tune out more distractions to hear Him better?

Ideas for Action:

  1. Find Stillness: Set aside five minutes today to sit in complete silence. Use this time to quiet your mind and simply listen.
  2. Journal Your Thoughts: Write down what you feel God is revealing to you about His voice and any distractions you feel led to surrender.

Prayer

Lord, thank You for speaking to me. Help me to quiet the distractions in my life so I can hear Your voice more clearly. Teach me to recognize Your whispers and respond with faith and obedience. Amen.
