Lent Journey - 2016ਨਮੂਨਾ

LENT IS FOR LISTENING
DAILY PRAYER REQUEST: Lord, teach me how to listen to you.
DAILY THOUGHT: OBEDIENT LISTENING
We listen to God so that we can be more faithful in our walk with God during the day. Listening to God needs to lead us into obedience. This is what happened for Jesus in his desert experience and what must happen for us in our “desert space”. When we have heard God speaking to us, we have more to give to others, often in very practical ways, in our homes and at work or in the wider community. The more we receive in listening prayer, the more we have to give in our active lives. Or, we could say that we retreat to listen to God so that we can advance in our obedience to God in the world.
DAILY PRACTICE:
Follow the rhythm of yesterday. After making your daily prayer request, meditate again on the temptation story of Jesus (Matthew 4:1–11). This time picture the scene in your imagination, using all your senses and imagine yourself talking with Jesus about his experience. Is there a particular image of the story that captures your attention? What do you think the Lord may be saying to you? What would you like to say to him?
