Guenther's own attentiveness to God's presence in the words of this psalm drew me into a quiet place of waiting and listening in spite of the noise of my daily life. Her questions probed the deepest places of my heart, encouraged me to be honest with myself, and enabled me to pay attention to God in new ways.
— Weavings
Guenther encourages those of us who feel so tightly scheduled and burdened with obligations ... and gives us the idea that we can ‘come away and rest' even for brief periods of time.
— Episcopal Life
Margaret Guenther understands the struggles we go through when we try to remain brave and rely on God. Her book, My Soul in Silence Waits, is an excellent companion to a complex and ultimately encouraging psalm.
