For the past three years, I have written for anxious, result-driven evangelicals, encouraging them to adopt the practice of contemplative prayer, which dates back to the desert mothers and fathers: an early monastic movement in the deserts of Egypt and Palestine that peaked in the 300’s and 400’s, and birthed the practice of silent, contemplative prayer.

Why do I want to talk about, write about, think about this thing called stillness?
Desperation, I think. Life moves so quickly, and every minute my very insides scream out, “The world can wait!” But I find that the world actually can’t wait.
