Growing in Intimacy
Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
Psalm 1:1-3.
Pray for:
● Seek grace and help to live a life of purity
● Pray for your lost friends
● Praise the Lord for His supreme power and authority
Reminder of how to pray the Psalms
START by praying this short prayer:
Dear God, please guide me as I open your Word this morning. Thank you. Amen.
READ a passage of today’s Psalm through twice. Let the Holy Spirit talk to you.
Then go through the passage again for the third time, this time one verse at the time, and pause. There will be words/phrases that will jump out of the verse and inspire or impress you.
PRAY by using these words and phrases, personalise them in terms of your own experience of God. Follow the above process for each of the next verses.
CLOSE with a prayer:
Dear Lord, fill me with your Holy Spirit today and let me be guided by You. Amen.
