Lectio Divina: "divine reading"

  

Read the passage

- Ask God to put you in the story.

- What do you see? Hear? Smell? Taste? Feel?

- Who's there?  What's Happening?

- Who do you identify with?

 

  

Reflect on what you've read

- Ask: "What do You want to say to me today, Lord?"

- Read it again and notice what word, phrase, or truth jumps out at you.

- Ask, "Lord, Why this word, this phrase ?

- Reflect on what comes to mind.

- What is God showing you about Himself, his people or you?

 

  

Respond to what you hear

Ask: God, what are you inviting me to do in response to this?

What do you want to do, feel prompted to do?

What is God putting on your heart?

To give thanks, to love God more, to worship, to confess, to ask for help to receive grace, to surrender something, to accept someone, to rest, to step out in faith?

  

  

  

Rest: Take  time to linger in God's Presence

Say, Thanks Jesus for being with me and speaking to me today."

Enjoy the encounter with God

Let Him fill you, replenish you
