Directions:
At this station you will not be praying “for” anything or “about” anything or thinking of any specific thoughts. You are to simply be still and silent, listening to God.

Ask God to calm your mind and to remove distracting thoughts. If it helps say this phrase over and over until you are calm; “Be still and know that I am God.” As thoughts come, think about them only briefly and then let it pass on. Let your stillness be your prayer to God. Listen to what thoughts he brings forward in your mind.
