February 25-March 2, 2024
Jesus said “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me (John 10:7). There are many voices that are competing for our ears these days. How can we possibly hear God? It takes intention. Let’s refer to this intention as Listening Prayer. Set aside some quiet time when you can focus, 3, 15, or more minutes. Take a few deep breaths. Read a verse or passage of scripture and then be silent. Sit in this silence for 3, 15 or more minutes. Record what God places on your heart. Maybe use one color for God’s words and another for your thoughts and responses.
This week's Bible reading: Galatians 6: 6-10
Focus Verse: “Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary (Galatians 6:10).”
