Time in the Word

Sometimes in our daily time with the Lord we can feel dry or disconnected. The following is a method that I have found that works well for me during these times 1: Pick a scripture that has meaning to me or that I have recently been studying. Sometimes I pick a scripture that I have heard recently in
a sermon. I love using this method with the Gospel stories. 2: Before I start I Pray for grace and insight while reading the scripture. 3: I than slowly and gently read and reread the Scripture. 4: When a word or phrase jumps out at me, I repeat that word or phrase, reflecting on
the thoughts, hopes, images and feeling that come. 5: Pray or sing the word or phrase. 6: Dialogue with Jesus my thoughts and feeling. 7: I will end by journaling how this scripture has impacted me. Lastly, with any method like this it is important to find ways to use it in your life and make it your own.
