Restart

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?
  • What does God tell you is true when you feel you've failed?
  • What will you do in response to what God has said?

In video games, when you face challenges and make mistakes there's always the option to start over. In real life, it's not so easy to recover, but Jesus gives us a chance to restart — no matter how difficult our circumstances. In this 4-week devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll look at people who needed God's help to give them a restart and discover how to trust God's promises.
