Open your mind and heart to God’s presence and guidance.
Scripture:
Psalm 42:1-11
Focus Verse:
“As the deer longs for flowing streams, so my soul longs for you, O God.” (v. 1).
Listening to God:
“The desire you feel for me is put into your heart by the Holy Spirit. Rejoice in this desire! Hold onto it like a lifeline. Your yearning for me is a sign that my love has been poured into your heart by faith. Your thirst for me draws you closer and closer to me so that I can claim more and more of you. I am using your desire, as unfulfilled and frustrating as it may feel, to transform you into the person I want you to be.”
Listen in silence. Quiet your mind by letting go of sounds and thoughts as they occur, seeking a silent space for God’s word to you.
Write or say your own prayer.
