Reflecting on Gospel of John 4:5–42 (The Woman at the Well), the third step to superabundance invites us to give God some of our time in prayer, especially at the places of our deepest thirst. Just as Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at noon—at the height of heat, shame, and longing—He waits for us in our guilt, distraction, and spiritual dryness, asking only, “Give me a drink.” By offering Him intentional time in prayer, we allow Him to satisfy our thirst with living water, transforming our shame into mission and our emptiness into joy.

Journal Questions:

1. Do I believe that Jesus is already waiting for me in my place of shame?
2. Where in my life right now do I feel most thirsty—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally?
3. What is one concrete time this week I can set aside solely for prayer?
