Description
Have you ever struggled to pray? Maybe you've said for years, "I need to read my Bible and pray more" but nothing ever sticks. This 5-week prayer journey through 1 John is an invitation - not to "try harder" - but to settle into the understanding that you are truly known and loved by God as you encounter him through his Word.Each week of this prayer journey covers one of the five chapters of 1 John. For each day of the week, you'll also learn a specific discipline or prayer rhythm to practice as you engage with God's Word:Day 1 Palms up, Palms down - This is the practice of releasing and receiving based on the text.Day 2 Know, obey, confess, give thanks - Each day the reader is encouraged to slow themselves so as to be able to listen well.Day 3 Study - Here the participant is encouraged to dig deeply into the text through the simple practices of noting words, themes and focal points.Day 4 Truth, Lies and Declaration - On this day of the weekly study, you are taken to a deeper level of looking at the conversations in our heads and allowing God to speak to us through His Word.Day 5 Lectio Divina - Through the ancient practice of multiple readings, God's Word is known and heard in our own hearts.Day 6 Obedience - In allowing the Word to speak to us, there is always a call to obedient change.Day 7 Art - On the final day of each week, the creative side of God's image in you is called into exercise as you consider what it is that you are hearing in His Word.
As you practice these prayer rhythms, you'll discover new ways to communicate with, to learn from, and to build a relationship with the God who loves you deeply.
