Why is it so difficult for us to be alone with God? Many believers struggle to practice silence and solitude, and others outright avoid it. This practice often evokes discomfort because it forces us to address the hard emotions we'd often like to ignore, whether it's loneliness, anxiety, or fear. This week, John Mark discusses these issues. Through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, we find that this is a common experience, and we also find a roadmap for how to deal with our emotions with God in a healthy way. Key scripture passages: 1 Kings 19:1-21You can find various resources for this practice here: https://practicingtheway.org/practices/silence-solitudeVisit practicingtheway.org for more information and resources.Facebook, YouTube: Practicing the WayInstagram: @practicingthewayTwitter: @practheway
