Rediscover Prayer: A 30-Day Reading Plan From Addison BevereSample

REFLECT

Prayer prepares us for temptation. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall,” Jesus urged. Prayer is armor for the soul, making us ready when the enemy prowls. Temptation rarely announces itself; it often whispers. Living prayer sharpens awareness and strengthens resolve. It doesn’t make the struggle vanish, but it equips us to resist with Spirit-given courage.

RECENTER

Take a minute to bring yourself back to the true center of your life: God. Here is a simple prayer that will help you surrender this place, this time, and your awareness to God. “I am here.”

REST

Pause. Breathe. Be still.

In the silence and stillness, listen to your life. Let the necessary words and images form in your consciousness. What thoughts are seeing you from entering rest today?

RECEIVE

What is God saying to you? Write down the whispers, the intimations, the promptings that rise from the pages of Scripture or within your spirit.

RESPOND

How is God inviting you to partner with him today? God’s words become real to us as we move in faith.
