Opening Prayer: Lord Jesus, instead of the many things that we
tend to be filled with, let us be filled with prayer, that we might know your
peace which surpasses all understanding.
Amen.
Scripture: Philippians 4:4-9
Journal: When you are filled with anxiety and worry what do
you do? What would it look like to be
filled with prayer instead of filled with anxiety? How is your sense of joy and peace nourished
by prayer? What else is nourished within
you by prayer? How will you keep your
soul nourished in the days ahead?
Reflection:
It is not part of the life of a natural man to
pray. We hear it said that a man will
suffer in his life if he does not pray; I question it. What will suffer is the life of the Son of
God in him, which is nourished not by food, but by prayer. When a man is born from above, the life of
the Son of God is born in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish
it. Prayer is the way the life of God is
nourished. (My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers)
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Fix our hearts and minds, Lord God, on
whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is
commendable, whatever is excellent and worthy of praise; that you might be with
us, O God of Peace. In the name of Jesus
we pray. Amen.
