Quiet Moments in a Noisy World – Finding Peace with God | LoriDomingo.com
Sometimes I have to remind myself to slow down. The world around us moves so fast — notifications, messages, updates — and it’s easy to mistake constant motion for meaning. But I’ve learned that some of the most important things God whispers can only be heard when we pause long enough to listen.
As much as I appreciate what technology allows us to do, especially for sharing faith and stories, I’ve also noticed how it can fill every quiet space if I’m not careful. I can spend hours scrolling through inspiration and somehow end up feeling drained instead of refreshed. That’s when I know it’s time to step back and choose stillness.
Here are a few simple ways I’ve found to protect those quiet moments:
- Take intentional breaks. Step away from your phone or computer for even a few minutes and just breathe. Silence is a powerful reset.
- Spend time in Scripture. Reading God’s Word reminds us what’s true and lasting when everything else feels noisy and temporary.
- Notice small blessings. The sound of birds outside, a warm cup of coffee, a verse that catches your heart — these are gentle reminders of God’s presence.
- Pray without hurry. Instead of rushing through a list of requests, sit with God in the quiet and let your thoughts settle in His peace.
In a world that thrives on noise, stillness has become an act of faith. When we choose to quiet our minds, we make space for God’s peace to settle in again. It’s not about rejecting the digital world; it’s about keeping our hearts tuned to what really matters.
Maybe that’s what balance looks like in this digital age — learning to use technology as a tool without letting it become our soundtrack. I’ve found that when I slow down, even briefly, I start to notice God’s presence more clearly. And that gentle awareness often brings more clarity than any app or algorithm ever could.
Because sometimes, the most powerful connection we can make isn’t online — it’s the one that happens in the quiet with God.
