| 0:26.9 | Welcome to Jesus Listen, Stories of Prayer. |
| 0:34.5 | I'm Susie McIntyre Eaton, and today I am so excited about visiting with Marie Chapin. |
| 0:41.9 | She is an author, she's an artist, and has found out through the hard way how important it is for us to be quiet before the Lord. So sit back and relax. Let's go visit with Marie. |
| 0:48.9 | Hey, it's so good to see you on Jesus listens today. Marie. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much. I'm delighted |
| 0:57.9 | to be here. Talking about quiet prayer, how do we calm ourselves? This is your forte. How would |
| 1:05.7 | you tell us to calm ourselves and stay in tune with him? Well, you know, that's a great question because that, to me, is the essence of walking in faith. |

| 2:33.1 | lack nothing just in those beautiful 20 minutes set |
| 2:38.8 | apart, the best minutes of the day. Really, well, you're absolutely free. We miss how God can speak |

| 2:54.7 | I'll ask you, I'll petition, but we need to be still before him so that he can speak to us. |
