Day TWO:
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 pray 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 about a dream you have that might feel years away or perhaps out of reach. If you're not sure how to start, try writing it like a letter.
Lord, I know this is kinda crazy or a long ways off, but I have this dreaming of...
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.
Hebrews 11:1
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we cannot see.”
Closing Prayer: Lord, I want a faith that does not shy away from what feels like the impossible. Over the next 20 days will you strengthen my faith. Teach me to dream with you. I don't want to stay in the place I've been. Help me to be sure of what I believe about you. Help me to be sure of your voice when you speak. Help me to know that I know that I know that gentle and kind whisper that speaks to my soul. I can't see you but I'm certain you want to speak to me. Thank you for your word, Lord. Thank you that you've provided so many ways for us to connect with you.
See you tomorrow for day three!
