God must have the first word

Let's silence before listening to the Word,
because our thoughts have already turned to the Word. We
silence after listening to the Word,
because this still speaks to us, he lives and dwells in us. We
silence in the morning,
because God must have the first word.
Let silence before bedtime,
because the last word belongs to God
be silent for the sake of the Word.
D. Bonhoeffer
