Is Silence REALLY Golden Anymore?

Last Sunday night at our 24/7 youth ministry we had a lesson on silence. Hmmmm....
Seems strange!!! We watched a Rob Bell (Nooma) video. After just a couple minutes of him talking about our noisy and busy world the screen went black. The youth were restless and started getting noisy. Then words popped up on the screen. They had to read it out loud and answer the questions. Others had to make noise by tapping or some other way. It's amazing how much we probably need silence and time with God, but hardly ever get it. We say we want to hear God and follow, but hardly ever put ourselves into the right position to hear Him speak to our hearts and minds.
Whenever I have quiet time with God I always come away feeling better, less rushed, more confident and more peaceful. Why wouldn't I want more and more time like that?
I too, get rushed and run by my schedule and the tyranny of the urgent. I'm trying not to let those things run my life anymore!
