REFLECT
It’s nearly impossible to pray when we don’t believe God cares enough to hear our words and know our ways. But according to Scripture, the Father isn’t just aware of our plight; he ponders its subtleties and searches out every possibility, guiding us into a more complete understanding of ourselves, of life, of him.
In Proverbs 4, we’re told to “ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure” (v. 26). This Hebrew word for ponder could also be translated “make level.” When we patiently participate in what God has done, is doing, and will do (ponder), we start to recognize and trust his power to level mountains and raise valleys.
But we cannot ponder if we will not pause.
RECENTER
Take a minute to bring yourself back to the true center of your life: God. Here is a simple prayer that will help you surrender this place, this time, and your awareness to God. “I am here.”
REST
Pause. Breathe. Be still.
In the silence and stillness, listen to your life. Let the necessary words and images form in your consciousness. What thoughts are seeing you from entering rest today?
RECEIVE
What is God saying to you? Write down the whispers, the intimations, the promptings that rise from the pages of Scripture or within your spirit.
RESPOND
How is God inviting you to partner with him today? God’s words become real to us as we move in faith.
