Closer to God – Lesson 1

For I know the plans I have for you, “declares the Lord,” plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer. 29:11 – NIV

This week’s activity:

Schedule three – 15 minutes appointments with God 

Blessings: During each appointment with God, write down three blessings/thanksgivings.

Heavenly Tip:  When you first wake up in the morning, thank God for your sleep and the opportunities ahead of you today.

At the beginning of your quiet time with God, Pray:

Lord, I look forward to spending time with you.  Open my spiritual eyes to see what you want me to see.  Open my spiritual ears to hear your words and thoughts and open my heart Lord, as I grow closer to you.

Day 1 – Read, reread and meditate/ponder on Psalms 1.

After you have spent time on the scripture, sit quietly and reflect on what the passage says and means to you. See how God will speak to you through His word.

Day 2 – Let’s spend some more time with Psalm 1. Read, reread and meditate/ponder on Psalms 1.

Write out the verse(s) that really sticks out to you. Take a few minutes and journal on the verse(s).

Day 3 – Read, reread and meditate/ponder on Galatians 2:17-21. What verse or words really spoke to your heart as you read these verses?  Take a minute to sit quietly with God and meditate/ponder on that verse or words. Spend a little more time with verse Galatians 2:20.

In Christ, I have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16)

Have fun as you spend time with our Lord.
