SUPPLIES NEEDED:
- A Bible
- A quiet spot
- A friend (optional)
- Bible app with voice option (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Lectio Divina is a practice of meditating on Scripture read aloud. Decide if you want to read the Scripture out loud to yourself or have it read to you by a friend, family member, or Bible app.
- Choose a passage to reflect on. If you need some guidance, start with any narrative story about Jesus.
- Read the passage out loud four times. After each reading, hold silence for 1-2 minutes and reflect on the following:
READING 1: Listen for one word or phrase that “stands out.” Don’t overthink it. Just choose the word that grabs you the most.
READING 2: Ask God if there’s anything he wants to say to you about that word or phrase.
READING 3: Pray a simple prayer based on your reflection: “Lord, help me to be, or to do, ______”
READING 4: Simply sit in silence with the Lord.
