The Ministry of Quiet Living
The Intercessors Network's E-letter of Friday 21/04/06 talks about the subject 'After years blasting Israel, Europe changes its tune after Hamas victory' written by William Echikson.
After that article there is A sling shot by Lars Widerberg about Prayer and Quiet living.

The Ministry of Quiet Living
Humility, Waiting and Godliness; these words gather among the great Christian words, capturing the essence and produce of a life lived before the face of the Father.
The people of the Lord are regarded as and positioned as guardians and practitioners of the rare art of waiting. Their duty and final joy is to serve by giving away the most precious item, for which they have been set apart as custodians, giving away the most precious item, the only item they own and have the possibility to spend namely time itself, a life, months and years to be invested, invested in worship.
The praying community, a nation set apart from among nations, set apart for the sake of communion. The praying community, set apart to become the community of the cross of Christ. This intimate gathering, closely attached to matters of the cross, holds a key role in the work of putting man to final rest. Theirs is an overcoming which brings rest and which is brought in as a mighty weapon of God against man’s efforts to overcome and win the battle for life which reflects the hectic, pressurising procedures and technicalities of the natural life.
One man named Simon stands forever as a marker in the ways of the Ministry of Quiet Living. He belonged to the company of committed, who had wisely learnt the art of waiting on God. This man was looking for the consolation of Israel, he waited for the one would comfort Israel, waiting anxiously, looking for God to console and to comfort. And he did not miss the mark, perfectly on time, time redeemed to the uttermost simply because of quietness and patience.
Ours is the role of waiting for God. Ours is the role of quiet living. The title of old Simon and his friends is perfectly applicable to intercessors of the twenty-first century. Our role is one and the same as theirs, to live peacefully in the earth and therefore called the Quiet ones in the Earth. We are set apart to pray, thereby creating quiet living with godliness and gravity.
The strategic measurements of this Ministry of Quiet Living begin by rest, continue in waiting and end gloriously in tranquillity. The strategic measurements of this Ministry of Quiet Living include adherence to His voice, Seek my face; it adds a continuous seeking for His wisdom and a dwelling day and night in meditation on His works and statutes. This ministry is service, a servant’s steadfast waiting on the Lord. Its strength is its helplessness. Its pride is its humility. Its glory is obvious in its lack of self-appraisal. Its impact is permanent because of its silence.
Let us order our efforts and duties in prayer according to the patterns of this ministry. . .
