Lectio Divina is an ancient practice of meditating on the words of Scripture. In this practice, you will read a passage of Scripture (Psalm 46) multiple times. Each time, leave 2-3 minutes in between readings to reflect with the corresponding intentions listed below.
Read Psalm 46 out loud, slowly. Listen for a word or phrase that sticks out or grabs your attention. Then, take a minute or two to breathe. Allow that word or phrase to rest in your mind and heart
Read Psalm 46 again. Still slowly. Then, take a moment and ask yourself, “How does this passage apply to my life?” “What does it have to say about my current circumstances?”
Read Psalm 46 out loud one more time. This time, ask yourself “What should be my response to this word from God?” “How can I walk and live differently because of what I’ve read today?” Don’t be afraid to get specific.
