ENTER
Read 1 John 5:14-15
God promises that he will listen and respond to our needs
and desires. According to Isaiah 65:24, Before they call I will answer;
while they are still speaking I will hear.
The First Letter of John adds we know that he hears us in
whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
Do you believe God listens to you and answers your prayers,
or do you think you have to earn God’s love, first?
WALK
As you walk today, talk to God as you would speak to a close
friend. Tell God what is on your heart. If you find it hard to believe God
hears you, tell God that and listen quietly for a response.
How does God respond—in your heart, in nature around you, in
the words of a friend, in the tune of a song, some other way…?
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.
