Pray using scripture

When you pray using scripture, ask the Holy Spirit: "Please help me to understand and follow the Word of God."

Open the New Testament and begin with Matthew.

Search for a passage that speaks to you…
something Jesus would say to you and that you need to hear.

Read the passage, and listen carefully as you read it to yourself. Consider the reading to be personally addressed to you.

Ask yourself, "What is Jesus saying to me? What does he want me to do?"

Be quiet and wait patiently for God to answer

The answer may not come immediately... but it will come.

End with words of praise, thanks and love for such a loving and merciful Father.
