Come to Stillness: Take a few minutes to allow your mind and heart to
be still before God.
Opening Prayer: Late have I loved you, O Beauty, so ancient
and so new, late have I loved you! And
behold, you were within me and I was outside, and there I sought for you, and
in my deformity I rushed headlong into the well-formed things that you have
made. You were with me, and I was not
with you.
~St.
Augustine
Scripture Reading for the Day: Revelation 3:14-22
Reading for Reflection:
O Begin! Fix some part of every day for private exercises. You may acquire the taste which you have not:
what is tedious at first will afterward be pleasant. Whether you like it or not, read and pray
daily. It is for your life; there is no
other way: else you will be a trifler all your days. ~John
Wesley
Reflection and Listening: silent and written
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself
Closing Prayer: Lord God, place a fire deep down in my soul, a
fire that constantly makes me yearn for more and more of you. Help me to never settle for any less than that. Help me never to settle for a boring,
mundane, half-hearted, lukewarm spiritual existence. Thank you that you are a God who constantly
knocks. Give me the wisdom, the
strength, and the courage to consistently open the door. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
