Thy Kingdom Come: The God Who Creates (May 12)

 


ENTER

Read Genesis 1:1-2:4

Think about the progression of Creation as listed in Genesis: Light/Water-Vegetation/Stars, Sun, Moon/Sea Creatures/Birds/Land Creatures & Man.

God called each part of creation “Good.” Think about some part of creation you might not like (mud, snakes, storms…). Can you think of it as part of the whole of creation and call it ‘good,’ too?

 

WALK

Be amazed by the aspects of Creation that you see on your walk. Pray for the dirt and sun and plants and animals you see.

Perhaps you want to clean up trash on your walk today to honor creation.

 

DEEPEN

You can use the PAINT process to further enter prayer through the image.

Pause: Prepare to Pray through scripture and/or silence

Ask: Sit with the image for a few minutes What is the image saying to me? What part are you focusing on?

Imagine: Imagine yourself in the image. Let your senses get involved. Would you hear or smell or see or feel something if you were inside the image?

Notice: What word, emotion, other image comes to mind? What might God be saying in the image?

Time: Take time to Reflect and Rest in God’s presence. You may want to journal or draw your response to the image and your quiet time. Respond in prayer to God for the message of the image.
