Have you ever noticed how quickly we rush to fill every moment of silence in our lives? The constant scrolling, planning, talking, and solving leaves little room for the deeper voice we most need to hear.

In this soul-refreshing episode of "Weekends with Lauren," we explore the countercultural practice of waiting quietly before God through the lens of Psalm 62:5. Lauren unpacks how this quiet waiting isn't passive inaction—it's an intentional posture of trust that creates space for God to work in ways only He can. When life feels overwhelmingly loud and demanding, this psalm offers the deep breath your soul has been craving.

Lauren challenges listeners to reconsider their relationship with silence, especially during the weekend. What might happen if you stepped away from the pressure to be productive and instead allowed every anxious thought and tired breath to rest in God's presence? This episode offers a gentle reminder that our hope isn't ultimately in outcomes or solutions but in God Himself. Through personal reflections and a heartfelt prayer, Lauren guides listeners toward finding spiritual renewal in summer silence.

Ready to experience the restoration that comes when you quiet the noise and make room for God's voice to rise above it all? Listen now, and discover how waiting quietly might be exactly what your soul needs this weekend. And don't forget—God isn't finished writing your story. Join us next weekend as we continue walking it out together.

00:00:01.421 --> 00:00:06.253
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:06.253 --> 00:00:07.602
I'm Rick.

00:00:07.602 --> 00:00:12.512
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:18.324
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, Ready to feel inspired.

00:00:18.324 --> 00:00:19.929
Let's get started.

00:00:19.929 --> 00:00:21.763
And now.

00:00:21.763 --> 00:00:23.388
Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:26.221 --> 00:00:30.461
Today is Day 186, the summer silence We'll be in.

00:00:30.461 --> 00:00:39.871
Psalm 62, verse 5 from the New Living Translation Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him.

00:00:39.871 --> 00:00:46.110
Hey, it's Saturday and welcome to Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:56.970
If your week has been anything like mine, like loud, fast and full of expectations, then maybe this psalm is the deep breath your soul has been craving.

00:00:56.970 --> 00:01:03.051
Psalm 62.5 doesn't tell us to fix everything or have it all figured out.

00:01:03.051 --> 00:01:09.968
It simply says wait quietly, not passively, not carelessly, but with intention and hope.

00:01:10.849 --> 00:01:12.754
Quiet waiting isn't about doing nothing.

00:01:12.754 --> 00:01:16.085
It's about trusting God to do what only he can do.

00:01:16.085 --> 00:01:19.719
And we're so quick to fill the silence, aren't we?

00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:32.792
We fill it with scrolling, planning, talking, solving, but sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is simply pause, to stop running from our thoughts, to sit in the stillness and remember.

00:01:32.792 --> 00:01:35.828
We are not in control, but God is.

00:01:35.828 --> 00:01:42.152
When we wait quietly before him, we give space for his voice to rise above the noise.

00:01:42.152 --> 00:01:44.989
We let his hope sink in a little deeper.

00:01:44.989 --> 00:01:48.986
We admit that our hope isn't in the outcome, it's in him.

00:01:48.986 --> 00:01:54.561
So this weekend, slow down and let the sun shine on your face.

00:01:54.561 --> 00:02:05.587
Step away from the pressure to be productive and instead let all that you are, every anxious thought and tired breath, rest quietly in his presence.

00:02:05.587 --> 00:02:10.800
Let's pray God in the quiet.

00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:15.911
Help me hear you, teach me to trust you enough to wait with hope instead of fear.

00:02:15.911 --> 00:02:20.186
Let my soul find rest in your presence this weekend, amen.

00:02:20.186 --> 00:02:29.806
Well, that's all for today, but remember I'm here every weekend and you should be too.
