Week 6 - Day 1

EAT! - Week 6
SEEK GOD

Know God through Prayer

Objective: To seek to know God through prayer while resting,
listening, and delighting in His presence.

Key Verse: "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted
among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Ps. 46:10

Is your life anything like mine? My (Amy) life is really busy! I
have SEVEN people (spouse included!) to spiritually pour into,
provide nutritious meals for, engage in meaningful conversations,
and nurse when they are injured or sick. I manage a home that
requires repairs and cleaning. Can anyone say laundry? I also
have the privilege to home educate my six kids. Whether you’re a
busy bee like me or not, we all need recharging!

What you and I need is NOT a chill time in front of the “tube”.
More than anything else, we need a quiet place to be still and
reflect on the God who made us and gave us life.

Prayer is VERY important!!! Many find it hard to spend time in
extended prayer. Is it because we are too busy or because we do
not think it important enough to fit into our plans?

Do you WANT to know God more intimately? Do you WANT
God to speak to you and show His path for you?

WHO’S GOING WITH US?

This week we’re going to learn and practice the skill of resting and
listening.

Give your whole self (spirit, soul and body) to knowing and
loving your Wonderful Savior.

Day 1 - Read Psalm 37

Pull out your notebook and ask yourself these questions from
your reading:

1. What is your favorite verse? Why? Consider committing it
to memory.

2. What verse was confusing? We all get confused
sometime. Just be real with God and ask him to help you
understand.

3. Does any verse challenge you or bring a deeper
understanding of God? How has this changed you this
week?

There’s a lot to chew on in this chapter. “Delighting” and “being
still” are in there! What does it say about the Righteous? That’s
you! It’s hard to believe isn’t it? It is only Christ in you that
makes you righteous!
