Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: Psalm 46:1–11; Hebrews 4:14–16
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.
God invites us to run to Him—not as a last resort but as our refuge. He is present, attentive, and compassionate. Jesus understands your struggle, your weariness, and your wounds. His nearness is your strength. Drawing near is not complicated; it’s simply coming to Him as you are and trusting that He meets you with mercy.
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: “Jesus, I come to You today. Be my refuge, my strength, and my help. Meet me with Your grace.”
- 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:
- Spend 10 minutes in stillness before God—no agenda, just presence.
- Speak honestly to Jesus about one struggle you’ve been avoiding bringing to Him.
