Spiritual Practice

• This week begin to record the times God’s word has met your obedience and your trust. And may I suggest the following reflection on all the times God has said and done: “I will help you.”  “I will strengthen you.” “I will uphold you.” “I’ll give you what you need.” “I will protect you.” etc…
• Together let us eliminate one avoidance practice this week to make room for the Holy Spirit.  How can we clear a pathway for the Spirit to be the loudest voice – even louder than our own?
• How can we step outside the noise of doom, of fear, of chaos this week to practice pursuing peace?
