— Psalm 39

For the One Who Is Learning to Slow Down & Listen

by Torrie Slaughter

After a week of exposure and healing, there can be a strange quiet.

Not empty — just still.

David wrestles with silence in this Psalm.
He tries to hold everything in… until the pressure builds and truth spills out.

You may feel that too.

A longing for clarity.
A desire to understand what God is doing.
A realization of how fragile life really is.

This Psalm gently shifts the focus:

From fixing life
to surrendering it.

Today’s prayer may simply be:

“Lord, teach me how to live wisely with the time and heart You’ve given me.”

You don’t have to rush back into noise.
You don’t have to fill every quiet moment.

Sometimes healing deepens in stillness.

Let God reset your pace.
