| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:09.3 | Our reading titled, Room for Silence, was written by Cindy Hess Casper. |
| 0:16.0 | If you like Peace and Quiet, there's a room in Minneapolis, Minnesota that you'll love. |
| 0:22.8 | It absorbs 99.99% of all sound. The world-famous anech, echo-free chamber of the ore-filled |
| 0:32.4 | laboratories has been called the quietest place on earth. |
| 0:40.4 | People who want to experience this soundless space are required to sit down to avoid getting disoriented by the lack of noise, |

| 1:51.5 | the voice of God. |
| 1:54.2 | Find room for silence in your life, so you'll never miss God's gentle whisper. |
| 2:09.9 | Today's Our Daily Bread devotional scripture reading is from First Kings chapter 19, |
| 2:11.8 | verses 9 through 14. |
| 2:18.5 | There he went into a cave and spent the night. And the word of the Lord came to him. |
| 2:22.2 | "'What are you doing here, Elijah?' he replied, |
