Reading: **John 8:31–32, Romans 12:1–2** 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. ** Truth is not just information—it’s revelation that transforms us. As we immerse ourselves in God’s Word, it renews our minds, reshapes our desires, and aligns our lives with His will.** 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. Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: **Holy Spirit, shape my heart with Your truth. Let Your Word renew my mind and lead me into the freedom You promise.** 3. Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today. **Take Action:** - Choose one Bible verse to meditate on today and speak it aloud throughout the day. - Identify one belief or behavior that doesn’t align with God’s truth—and commit to replacing it with what Scripture says.
