Open your mind and heart to God’s presence and guidance.
Scripture:
Psalm 55
Focus Verse:
“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved” (v. 22).
Listening to God:
”Why do you try to carry these heavy burdens by yourself? The responsibilities I have placed on your shoulders are meant to be shared with me. The purpose for this sharing is to draw you and me closer together. Out of this deeper relationship you will be able to accomplish far more than you ever could alone. If you do not abide with me and allow me to provide what you need, you will become worn out and embittered. Give this burden to me, and give me yourself too!”
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.
