Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Psalm 62:1–8
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.
Loving God emotionally means bringing your real heart before Him—not a filtered version. God desires honesty more than perfection. When David poured out his soul, he didn’t hide pain or confusion; he trusted God with it. True spiritual love surrenders control, believing God is still good when feelings waver. The deeper you trust Him with your emotions, the freer your soul becomes to love Him fully.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- 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).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Father, help me bring You my whole heart—my joy and my pain. Teach me to trust You with my emotions and surrender my will to Yours.
- 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:
- Journal an honest prayer about something that’s been heavy on your heart.
- Spend five minutes in quiet waiting—no agenda, just resting in His presence.
