Hide This in Your Heart: Memorizing Scripture for Kingdom Impact Sample

Listen to the Guidance of the Holy Spirit as We Engage with Those Around Us

When we listen to the voice and guidance of the Holy Spirit, he leads us to be a people of justice, compassion, mercy, and truth. The Spirit guides us to into the heart of Jesus Christ and leads us to love and bless others. We’d like you to spend at least one period of the week listening for the Spirit’s voice. 

Our lives can be so busy and frenetic that we can fail to stop and hear the Spirit calling us to discipleship. But we need quiet hearts to hear the Spirit and his call to repentance and renewal. The words of Scripture and the voice of the Spirit call us to repent of our pride, greed, lust, envy, self-indulgence, anger, violence, racism, sexism, and fear. If we listen to the Spirit, we’ll hear him calling us to rend our hearts, lament our sin, and return to God. We will also hear the Spirit calling us to be a people of justice, reconciliation, and mercy.

Memorize: Hebrews 4:12

Pray: 

Heavenly Father,

show us your ways,

teach us your paths,

guide us in your truth,

teach us your justice, mercy, and humility,

lead us to imitate and conform to your Son.

For you are our God and Savior,

and our hope is in you all day long.

May your Spirit guide and direct us;

your ways are perfect, and your grace is sufficient.

Amen
