When I (Cossondra) was going through training to be a school counselor, one of the things they impressed on us was being sure we waited for answers to questions. I like giving a rather long wait time because I have found it to be very powerful. It gives people time to think, time to weigh out their answers. Sometimes, it even forces them to think. So many people don’t like the silence that fills the room during a “waiting period,” though. Are you one of those? Do you feel a need to fill in the silences that fall in conversations? What about in prayer? Give God a chance to speak into your silent moments and look for freedom!
