One of the many spiritual disciplines is daily reading and prayer. The following is from "A guide to Prayer" which is available in my office. Use it through this next week. Each day has the same structure with different scriptures and readings readings. Try this for the next week. Comment on you experience with the exercise.
Invocation:
I. (start with this each day) O Lord, you who has organized this wondrous world, and who knows all things in earth and heaven: fill our hearts with trust in you by day and night, at all times and in all seasons, so that we may, without fear, commit all that we have and hope to be your unfailing love in this life and the next. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
II. (each day) Read Psalm 136
III. Scripture readings:
Monday: Galatians 5:13-24
Tuesday: Romans 5:1-11
Wednesday: Ephesians 5:1-20
Thursday: Hebrews 13:1-6
Friday: Deuteronomy 7:6-16
Saturday: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Sunday: Acts 7:55-60; Psalm 31:1-8; 1 Peter 2:2-10
IV. Spend some time in prayer: pray for the Church (think big), for others, for yourself
V. Reflect: write down your thoughts, not for anyone else.
VI. Find a favorite worship song or hymn, listen to the words.
VII. Take the time to thank God for what He has done.
