The divine will for Christians is that silence must be a good part of our day, that is the silence of prayer, rather than the grumbling about the mess of the world or our own life. Why? Because the Christian God came as a baby. What do you do if you want the baby to sleep and thus grow up to a mature adult? Shut up while the baby sleeps, right? Remember, in Jesus day he did not have a big house with his own room where one could close the door and then go about babbling on. Silence is the way that our infant spirituality grows into adult maturity. Babies can whine and be self-centered. But they are babies. Pathetic for an adult. And especially not good for a recovering addict.

Pen to paper helps me release things to God and see my part, so much healthier than whining for this person in recovery. Such a gift!
