Do you ever struggle to hear God's voice when you pray or read the Bible? If you do, you're not alone. But a long time ago, some followers of Jesus came up with a way of spending time with God that helps us listen for God's voice. It's called Lectio Divina and it's all about hearing God speak through Scripture. Here's how it works...
1. GET QUIET
Get rid of any distractions so you can focus. Ask God to speak to you through the words you're about to read in the Bible.
2. READ
Read today's passage of Scripture. Read the passage—slowly! Listen for any words or ideas that stand out to you. When something does stand out, write it down.
3. RE-READ
Read the passage again. This time, spend extra time focusing on the words that stood out to you during your first read-through. Let God's words really sink in. Then write what you're thinking or feeling.
4. LISTEN
Read the passage one more time. This time, listen for what God might be inviting you to do. Write it down.
5. PRAY
Spend a few minutes talking with God about what you just read and were invited to do. Here are some prayers to get you started.
- God, help me understand your words.
- What do you want me to know?
- What are you inviting me to do?
- What do you see that I don't?
Write down anything you say to God and anything you notice God saying in return.
6. REFLECT
What happened during your time with God today?
- What did you hear God say?
- Why does Jesus think it is important for us to ask God for guidance and put it into practice?
- What will you do in response to what God has said?

Coaches create the strategy, put together a game plan, and send their players out to make it happen. Wouldn't it be nice for someone to do that for all of our decisions? In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll explore Proverbs and Epistles to help us learn how God guides us toward wisdom and helps us make godly decisions.
