Day 15 of 21 Day of Prayer Journaling


Day FIFTEEN:

Here's the Lord's invitation to you before you start...

Get away with me:  Go somewhere you can get away from distractions & it’s easy to think. If you aren't planning to play worship music in the background, consider putting your phone away. If you are playing music, consider placing your phone face down.

Undivided Attention: Ask the Lord to remove all the noise & distractions in your mind. Some days are harder to set it all down, so try praying over your heart and mind something like this, 

"There's enough time for the day and the tasks ahead, even if it doesn't feel like it. I lay it all down and I call my heart and mind to attention in the Lord's presence. Jesus, you have my full attention. If distraction comes, help me to remain uninvolved with anything that may interrupt this one on one time we've set aside for just us."
 
Journal Prompt: Write a response to the daily prompt.

Tell the Lord something you've been avoiding thinking about. If you're not sure how to start, try writing it like a letter. 

Lord, I've been avoiding thinking about...


Listen: Take time to listen for the Lord's response to what you shared with him. Maybe you hear him speaking to your spirit. Maybe he brings a scripture to mind. Perhaps it's just silence. If you aren't sure but you think you hear him, write it down. Then pray, "Lord if any of this was not from you let it fall away". If you're not sure you're hearing anything after a minute or two, don't stress over it and move on.
 
Worship: Take a few minutes to meditate on the scripture and write it down. Note if there is a command, promise or wisdom in the verse. 

2 Peter 1:3

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness."

Closing Prayer: Lord, thank you for setting foot in the sand. For walking from town to town, for the friends you made, the lessons you taught, and the bread you broke. So much of your humanity is made known to us through your word. Thank you for coming to serve as you did. For weeping and laughing as you did. People rejoiced to be around you, to have you in their homes, to walk along side you. Father, thank you for sending your Son. While there may be parts of Jesus that feel unreal to me, you made yourself relatable in every possible way apart from sin. And all I know is I want to know you and your humanity is one of the greatest gifts. Who else but Jesus could ever shown me a love like this?

See you tomorrow for day sixteen!
