Week 2 - 16 Jan to 22 Jan
Slow down and spend more time in God’s presence.
Slow down
Take time to pause and rest in God’s presence. So often, we come to God thinking about what He can do for us rather than who He is.
Take time to worship and give thanks for who God is. Rest in His presence. As we spend time with God and draw near to Him, He draws near to us.
Block out time
The idea of spending an extended period seeking God can seem daunting, but so often can help us to leave feeling lighter and refreshed.
While blocking out a day or more may not be possible for everyone, even a couple of hours can bring new perspective.
You may want to spend time with God in nature, reading, writing, or getting creative. Invite the Holy Spirit to speak, and take time to be still and listen.
Meditate on Scripture
Take time to read God’s Word slowly. You may just want to focus on one verse.
Pay attention to any words or phrases which jump out. Bring those before God in prayer and ask for wisdom and revelation.
You may want to start in the Psalms or Jesus’ parables.
Reflect and remember
Take time to reflect on what God is doing in this season of your life. Ask God how to respond to what He’s teaching you. You may want to journal as a way to record your prayers and what God is saying to you. In tough seasons, you can use this to reflect on all God has done and remember the promises He’s spoken over your life.
Upcoming
Events
This is another of our Prayer and Fasting months and you are invited to join with us and we engage in earnest prayer for the people of our community.
As well as continuing prayer and fasting throughout the month the events shown below will continue to be part of our programme in addition to our Sunday morning services.
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
