A long time ago, my First Day [Sunday] School teacher suggested quite a few queries to aid in discovering what silent worship could mean for me.  I only remember one, perhaps because I never got beyond it: “What could I have done in the past week to be a better person?”  Now I have other ways of phrasing the same, useful question.  What suffering, small or big, have I been avoiding which, if accepted, would better show love?  How many times in the past week did I fail to listen for the still, small voice of God within me and to let that Voice guide my actions?
