Welcome to DAY 32 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
“Be still”
And breathe out
“Selah”
As you breathe in Pray
“Be”
And breathe out
“Selah”

Today’s Bible Reading comes from John 3:31-36

As we read this passage now, be listening for one word or phrase the Holy Spirit highlights to you.
START

31 The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

What is one word or phrase the Holy Spirit impressed on you in that reading?
Take a moment to MEDITATE on this.

RE-READ PASSAGE 2ND TIME

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
