Preparing to Pray
1. Take three deep breaths, allowing yourself to be fully present.
​
2. Speak to the Lord, telling him that you are dedicating the next fifteen minutes to be with Him.
​
3. Ask for the grace you desire:
I ask to continue to know God more deeply. I ask for a deeper glimpse into God's self.
4. Consider the following points:
Moses is watching his father-in-law's flock when he is called by the angel of the Lord. Moses is brought to the burning bush, where God announces God's self in a way that Moses will understand. How has God announced God's self to me?
Prayer
Scripture:
Exodus 3:1-6
Review your prayer
Take a few minutes to reflect on and journal about the following:
The image(s) of God that I carry in my heart has been formed by my life experiences. List the various images of God that I have now. These images have come to me through my own experiences. Have they changed since I was a child? Why? Why not?
... or else write down any moments of consolation or desolation you encountered in your prayer.
Speak with the Lord, as one friend to another, about whatever came up in your prayer.
​
End with an Our Father or a Hail Mary.
