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

REFLECT

Sometimes prayer takes the shape of a song in the dark. The psalmist spoke of God’s song being with him at night. Habakkuk rejoiced even when the fields lay empty. Worship as prayer doesn’t erase pain, but it reframes it. Singing becomes rebellion against despair, a way of telling the night that light has not left.

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.
