Congratulations! We've made it to the end of our Discerning the Voice of God study! In the video for this month, I share some final thoughts and we listen to Priscilla's final encouragement for us as we move forward.
Before you watch this final video, here are some questions to think about or discuss.
1. On page 182 Priscilla writes, "We must carve out time to purposefully listen for [God's] voice (1) through prayer, (2) meditating on His Word, and (3) lingering worshipfully in His presence." Which of these three practices (prayer, meditation, worship) do you regularly take time for and which would you like to practice more? Ask God to bring to mind a new time in your day or place in your routines where you can spend time praying, meditating on the Word, or worshiping. (When I'm doing the laundry or dishes, waiting in my car, or when I'm waiting for my coffee to brew are examples of the times I try to turn my mind back to God.)

2. On page 193, she writes, "If I'm asking [God] to reveal Himself, He will do it--as He chooses--through little whispers, confirmations, divine delays, and heavenly echoes that corroborate with what He's already been saying to me through His Word and His Spirit." As you reflect on these last several months, how/when/where/what has God spoken to you?
In the video, I talk about how our bodies are temples for the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Your body is your very own private meeting place where you (and only you!) can connect with God and where God wants to connect with you. Isn't that amazing? Take some time to thank God for making your body a temple where the Holy Spirit dwells and ask Him how you can care for and honor your body, and how He wants to meet with you in a special way in your body.
Take some time to echo Priscilla's prayer for revival, in our hearts, in our families, in our church, city, and beyond.
We may be finished with this study, but we'll never be done talking about listening to God. We'll keep learning and growing together in the months to come.
MAY GATHERINGS
Sister Circles: The Wednesday morning Sister Circle will be meeting TOMORROW, 5/17. The Sunday morning and Friday evening circles are not meeting this month due to Mother's Day and the church picnic, and the movie night. Speaking of...
We're having a Girls Movie Night!
All ladies, including the youth group (Jr Hi and up), are invited to come watch War Room with us! We're going to have some fun, enjoy some snacks and drinks, and be encouraged and inspired together to keep listening to God and to PRAY. We'll provide the drinks, so bring your favorite movie snack and a friend who could use some inspiration. We hope you can come!
Lord Jesus, thank You for how You have walked with us through these last months. Thank You for speaking to us. Help us continue to grow in dependence on You and faith in You because You are so good and You are always with us, ready to reveal Your heart and Your plans. We love You. In Jesus name, Amen.
