Opening Prayer: My heart is not lifted up, O Lord, my eyes are not raised too high. I do not occupy myself with great matters, or thing too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the Lord, both now and forevermore. (Psalm 131:1-3)
Scripture: Psalm 131:1-3
Journal: What is prayer? How does this psalm invite you to pray?
Reflection: Be still. Be quiet. Drop your list. Abandon your agenda. Stop your anxious spinning. Listen to God. Let him guide you. Wean yourself off of the need to be everything to everyone. Still and quiet your soul and just see what happens. This is the first lesson in the school of prayer.
Pray
Closing Prayer: Speak, Lord, your servant is listening. (1 Sam. 3:9)
