Practice of Prayer

Week 4, Day 16 - Intentional

August 15, 2022 • Kelly Gainer

I pray that what I say will draw you closer to the one that so desires to draw closer to you. In addition, I pray it will be a seed planted that will beautifully germinate and be eternally planted deeply in your Spirit.

Here I Am, Abba

As we’ve studied scripture, we have learned about the deep abiding love God has for His son, Jesus. Then in turn Jesus’ deep abiding love for his disciples. His love for us. He calls us friends. He chose us. Even after seeing all of who we are - the mistakes, the rebellion, the beauty. He sees the Imago Dei in His sons and daughters! In His friends!

Today, I wanted to share some of the things Spirit shared with me in my journal during my time in the Lectio Divina practice.

Lectio Divina

Today, we are going to soak into scripture through the practice of Lectio Divina—one of my favorites! Lectio Divina, which is latin for Divine Reading, is a contemplative practice that guides us in reading over a passage of four times, each with a different intent: Lectio (which is a plain Reading), Meditatio (a meditative Reading), Oratio (a prayerful Reading), and Comtemplatio (a restful Reading).
