Pray through Scripture – Lectio Divina (divine reading)
Sometimes called “meditative prayer,
“lectio divina” is a way to read a Bible text as a prayer. Choose a verse or
set of verses and spend some time meditating on what they mean. Even if the
passage is a familiar one, read it with new eyes. Focus in on the individual
words. See what God has to tell you,
personally, through the words. Reread the passage a few times, going over it
slowly, and take the time to open up your heart to what God will say to you
through that passage. Settle down into the text, and make yourself at home in a
particular phrase. Ask God what He wants you to learn/remember while you read.
Sample:
Ephesians 3:17-19
Proverbs 3:5-6
Nehemiah 9:6
