Lessons in the Quiet: Discovering God in Still Moments

The world is loud.

Deadlines, notifications, conversations, music, podcasts, and traffic all compete for our attention. We often move from one thing to the next without a pause, until one day we realize we’ve been running on autopilot, too distracted to notice the still, small voice of God.

On the World Race, something changes. You’re invited into spaces where the noise fades away – whether it’s sitting on a mountaintop in Nepal, watching the sunrise over the ocean in Ecuador, or walking dusty roads in East Africa with nothing but the sound of your footsteps.

It’s in these moments of quiet that you realize stillness isn’t emptiness, it’s an invitation.

The Gift of Stepping Away

When you leave behind your normal routine, you begin to notice just how much noise you’ve been carrying. In the stillness, distractions lose their grip. You can hear your own thoughts again and, more importantly, you can hear God.

In these moments, the Spirit often whispers things you couldn’t hear in the chaos: reminders of who you are, direction for where you’re going, and truth that cuts through the lies you’ve believed.

What Stillness Teaches You on the Race

• God is present in the ordinary. You don’t need a worship band or a perfect setting. Sometimes His voice comes while you’re washing dishes or sitting on a crowded bus.
• Rest is not wasted time. Jesus Himself withdrew to pray. If He made space for stillness, so should we.
• Clarity comes when you stop striving. It’s often when you lay down your plans that God reveals His.

Why It Matters for the Mission

The World Race is full of service, travel, and ministry, but the most impactful ministry often flows out of the quiet. When you’re filled by God’s presence in still moments, you serve from overflow, not exhaustion.

You begin to see others the way He does. You speak words of encouragement that actually hit the heart. You live with a steadiness that points people back to the One you’ve been with.

Are you ready to find God in the stillness and let it change everything?
