Our heavenly Father desires that we enjoy regular life-giving encounters with Him. Dig into these Bible verses and questions to get a glimpse of God’s heart for spending time with us.

Questions for reflection or discussion:

1. Read Psalm 67:1. How does it feel to think that God smiles when you come into His presence?

2. Read Genesis 3:8-9. Why do you think God is calling to Adam, Where are you?

3. How would you feel if you sensed God calling to you, Where are you?

4. It’s possible that God is inquiring about Adam’s heart, like asking What’s going on with you? How would you respond if God asked you that question?

5. Read Matthew 6:5-8. How would you summarize the key instructions Jesus provides for prayer? What do you like about these instructions?

6. Read Matthew 6:16-18. How would you summarize the key instructions Jesus gives for fasting?

7. Reread Matthew 6:18. How do you think God might reward you when you fast in secret?

8. Read Psalm 46:10. One reward of being still before God is getting to know Him. Where do you, or where could you go to have a regular encounter with God?
