Rediscover Prayer: A 30-Day Reading Plan From Addison Bevereනියැදිය

REFLECT

Scripture tells us to renew our minds so that we can be in tune with the mind of God. It also tells us to take every thought captive to obey Christ. Practically, we do this by surrendering our thoughts to God, in prayer. When we do, cares and worries become requests; lies bow their knee to the Truth; fears and insecurities transform into cries for help and moments of faith; thoughts of inadequacy reform into acknowledgments of dependence; and feelings of joy become triggers for thanksgiving.

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 keeping 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.
