There are several mine diggers who work every day in the mine. Because the mine is rich in natural minerals, they have not moved their workplace for several years. So it is conceivable that the deeper the mine is dug. That day they were at the deepest bottom of the mine.

Suddenly all the electric current lines in the mine broke. The lights were all extinguished. Pitch black covered the bottom of the mine, and in an instant there was a frenzy there. Everyone is trying to save themselves. But they really lost their way. Their every move inevitably ended in bumps and collisions, either hitting fellow workers or hitting mine walls. The situation worsened due to the increasingly hot air.

After being tired of wrestling with the darkness, they all sat hopelessly listlessly. One of the workers spoke up, “We’d better sit quietly rather than frenziedly looking for a way out. Sit quietly and try to feel the breeze. Because the wind can only blow in through the door of this mine.”

They then sat down in silence. At first they could not feel the gust of wind. But gradually they became more and more sensitive to the breeze coming in through the mine door. Following the direction of the wind, they finally safely exited the pitch-black bottom of the mine.

When our mind is troubled and chaotic, we will never see the right solution. What is needed first of all is to calm down. Only in silence can we see the subject matter correctly, and correctly make decisions. “therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
