21 Days of Fasting and Prayerનમૂનો

READ

“I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.”—Psalm 119:45 (NIV)

RESPOND

Allow the Lord’s Spirit to lead you according to His precepts (words of guidance) by committing to a consistent time of reading the Bible. Prayerfully choose a book that specifically deals with walking in God’s ways, such as James, Philippians, 1 Peter, or 1 John. Then read through that book in order . . . one paragraph at a time. Don’t rush through, but thoughtfully consider what’s being communicated. Read it through until you grasp the “big idea” of the paragraph. Write it down in your own words and perhaps even share it with someone.

PRAY

Father, what a gift You’ve given to me by giving me Your Word. And You have also given me the gift of Your Spirit who leads me to understand not only what Your Word says, but to understand what it means. I acknowledge I need Your guidance as Your Word and Spirit work together to lead me into the freedom You desire for me. Instill, deep within my soul, a hunger and thirst for what I need. Make me ravenous to hear Your still small voice as I am led according to Your precepts. Whatever hinders my commitment to commune with You this way, cast it as far as the east is from the west as I meet with You in the place where You promise to meet with me. Amen.
