Welcome to DAY 34 of the Lent Lectio Divina series
Throughout these 6 weeks we will pause each day for a few moments to
Read a passage of scripture, Reflect on what God is saying to us through it, and Ask the Holy Spirit to help us as we step into the invitation this passage offers us
Before we begin this reading, let’s take a moment to pause, to quiet our mind, and to reflect on God’s presence with us right now
This week’s breath prayer comes from Psalm 46:10-11
“The LORD says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God… Selah’”
It’s believed the Hebrew word “Selah” was a musical instruction to pause and reflect on a truth which had just been spoken. As we breathe this prayer let us simplify it each time on the in breath and then reflect on the outbreath with “Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be still and know that I am God”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be still and know that I AM”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be still and know”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray

And breathe out

Today’s Bible Reading comes from John 6:22-29
As we read this passage now, be listening for one word or phrase the Holy Spirit highlights to you.
START
22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. 23 Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
Jesus the Bread of Life
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
What is one word or phrase the Holy Spirit impressed on you in that reading?
Take a moment to MEDITATE on this.
As we move into our second reading, consider how this passage relates to a current area of your life
RE-READ PASSAGE 2ND TIME
What specific situation in your life does this passage relate to today?
Take a moment now to PRAY about this
As we move into our final reading, consider what God is saying to you personally today from this passage.
RE-READ PASSAGE 3RD TIME
What is Christ’s personal invitation to you from this passage today?
Take a moment now to CONTEMPLATE this
Let us take this time now into the coming day as we pray
That God will bless you and protect you;
That God’s face will radiate with joy because of you;
That God will be gracious to you, show you his favour towards you,
and give you his peace.’
Amen
