Week 1, Day 6: Love Song from God

WEEK 1 • DAY 6

GRACE: Ask God for the grace to allow God’s love to permeate your heart and get past any personal stumbling blocks you have to receive that love.

SCRIPTURE: II Samuel 22:1-4, 47-50 

FOR PRAYER

1. Begin by praying with II Samuel 22:1-4, 47-50.
2. Now you are invited to think through the songs and hymns you associate with your faith. Select one that captures your love, awe, praise, or gratitude for God in your life. Either sing the song to God or play a version, paying attention to how the lyrics and the way the music moves impact you emotionally. Spend a few moments speaking with God about what your song selection communicates.
3. Now you are invited to think through the great love songs you know. Select one that has meaning to you and listen to the song, while imagining that it is God who wrote the song for YOU and is singing to YOU. Allow the song to play a couple times, paying attention to which lyrics or instrumental movements capture your attention.

Spend time in conversation with God about how you feel in listening to God’s voice. Pay attention to what surprised you or moved you to joy or tears. Listen to the song again if it is helpful. Allow the words and feelings of God’s love to sink in with your heart.
