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

REFLECT

Under the night sky, the psalmist marveled that the God who set the heavens in place also cares for us. Prayer stretches our vision—the One who holds galaxies dwells in our hearts. Rooted in God’s holiness, we begin to grasp what is beyond measure: the breadth, length, height, and depth of Christ’s love. Living prayer is wonder rediscovered, awe rekindled, perspective restored.

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.
