Week: Learning - Solomon
Each day we will simply pray (P.R.A.Y.) together.
P: PAUSING to be still.
R: REJOICING with a Memory Verse and REFLECTING on some verses from the Bible.
A: ASKING God to help us and others.
Y: saying YES to God’s ways.
We start by pausing and taking a deep breath:
In and out.
In and out.
We remember that God is here, and so together we prepare ourselves to be with God.
Pause
Holy Spirit, You are the best teacher. As we explore the Bible and listen to You, please help us to understand more about You, and draw closer to You.
We REJOICE and celebrate God’s goodness with this week’s memory verse:
Read by Liliwyn
John 14:26
But the Helper will teach you everything and will cause you to remember all that I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name.
John 14:26 (NCV)
God, help us to remember Your Word.
We’re REFLECTING today on another wise saying of Solomon from the book of Proverbs.
Read by Liliwyn
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG)
Solomon was the wisest person around, but he knew that he didn’t know everything – even he had to depend on God. Trusting God isn’t something that we do just once and then tick it off the list. It’s something that Solomon knew he had to do all the time, in EVERY situation. The more that we trust God, the more it will become a habit for us as well.
Let’s press pause and talk about today’s question, which is: Who is someone we really trust? What makes them so trustworthy?
And now, we ASK God to help us and others…
Father God, we ASK You to help us to trust You. When we think that we know what’s best, remind us of Solomon’s wisdom, to remember You in everything that we do.
Let’s think about the leaders in our churches.
Lord Jesus, we ASK You to give wisdom to those who lead our churches. And help them to trust You always, and in all things too.
As we read the Bible again, let’s listen for a word or a phrase that the Holy Spirit might want to say to us from today’s verses.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he’s the one who will keep you on track.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG)
What word or phrase stood out from today’s Bible verses?
And now, let’s say YES to God together.
Father God, we say YES to trusting that You will keep us on track as we follow You.
After enjoying this time with God and each other, let’s say our memory verse together:
John 14:26
But the Helper will teach you everything and will cause you to remember all that I told you. This Helper is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name.
John 14:26 (NCV)
Let’s put a hand on our heart.
Father God, fill us with Your love. Help us to love You, and everything that You’ve made.
Let’s point to our eyes.
Lord Jesus, help us to see You, and to see others the way that You see them too.
Let’s point to our ears.
Holy Spirit, help us to hear You, and give us courage to do what You say.
