When You Follow Jesus...ಮಾದರಿ

As we enter this week, we will practice different ways of praying and reading our Scripture passages. It may be a chance to try something new and to talk with God. We hope you will give it a try!

STOP, put aside distractions, grab your Bible, pen, and notebook, take a couple of slow, deep breaths, and get cozy.

INVITE Jesus to meet you and tell yourself that God is always present with you, whether you feel something or not today.

READ the Bible passage(s) twice slowly. We recommend using a physical paper Bible for this part. Come back to this screen after you do the readings.

REFLECT on what stands out to you from the passage with these questions (if doing this with the group, respond in the comments with your thoughts).

PRAY and REST for a few minutes, and let whatever comes to mind rise up. Don’t dismiss anything that comes to you; just talk to God.

1- Today, take a moment to pray the prayer Jesus taught us, "The Lord’s Prayer”. How does it feel to say those words to God today?

2- What part of the prayer sticks out to you today? Why?

RESPOND by asking God if there is anything from your time today that may encourage others, be helpful to share, or may be a question others have (from the reflect questions). Share it today!
