I came across the text from a soul searching book 'Rebuilding My Broken World' decades ago.

"In our private worlds, God, our Creator, is mostly likely to whisper in the gentle stirrings of conviction, guidance, and the experiences of grace. But also in our private worlds is the grim reality of darker, shadowy forces that we identify with the word evil or sinfulness. If God whispers, evil often shouts, and personal worlds break when that shouting gets our attention.
The principle of being silent with listening - We wished to be listeners to the deep sources where certain kinds of heavenly truth are tapped only by those who have a heart to be attentive. So we became aware that God has much to say that we had not been hearing. We were usually too busy and in places where the noise levels were too high. God will not shout, he whispers in the deep. Only those who stop long enough or who are stopped long enough hear the text of the messages from the deep."
