Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read. After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life. **How can you embrace friends who speak the truth to you in love, even when it’s uncomfortable?** Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer… 1. Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you). 2. Talk to God about your openness to receiving loving correction from trusted friends. 3. Talk to God about your willingness to speak the truth in love to those you care about. 4. Talk to God about building trust and accountability in your closest relationships. 5. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
