JOHN  8

Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God
(47 )
​

JOHN  10

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me
​(27)

"BUT THE ONE WHO ENTERS THROUGH THE GATE IS THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. THE GATEKEEPER OPENS THE GATE FOR HIM, AND THE SHEEP RECOGNIZE HIS VOICE AND COME TO HIM. HE CALLS HIS OWN SHEEP BY NAME AND LEADS THEM OUT. AFTER HE HAS GATHERED HIS OWN FLOCK, HE WALKS AHEAD OF THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW HIM BECAUSE THEY KNOW HIS VOICE.” 
​(2-4)
​

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me--just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.  I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd."
​(14-16)


​Psalm 27

my heart has heard you say, "come and talk with me." and my heart responds, "Lord, i am coming."
​(8)


​JEREMIAH 33

Ask me and I will tell you  remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.
(3)

When you hear the word Prayer or Prayers,
what words, feelings or expectations come to mind?

Here is a very helpful
​short Video:

​AT A GLANCE…

PRAYER IS DEEP RELATIONAL CONVERSATION BETWEEN US AND OUR LOVING FATHER. WE ARE EXPECTED TO BOTH LISTEN TO AND RESPOND TO HIM. 

PRAYER IS WHERE WE CAN FIND PERSONAL (AND COMMUNAL) STRENGTH, RENEWAL, DISCERNMENT, WISDOM, JOY AND PEACE.

PRAYER MAY BE LONG OR SHORT, ALONE OR IN A GROUP, SILENT OR ALOUD, BUT IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE HONEST AND TRUTHFUL.  

PRAYER IS MORE ABOUT CHANGING US AND HOW WE VIEW GOD THAN IT IS ABOUT CHANGING OTHERS AND FIXING THINGS.

3 Simple PRACTICES
​

Daily ​Pause

Take 5 minutes a day (or more) to pause and be reminded of who you are in Christ. Follow 4 easy steps. Download the resource below. 

​

Prayer ​Walks

This can be alone or with a couple others. Simply walk around your block/suburb and be asking "Father, where are you at work & How can I/we play part?"

​ 

Bible Meditation

This is such a good practice and so refreshing. It can be done using most portions of scripture but using Psalms is particularly good for beginers.


​ 



​DAILY PRACTICE 
OF PAUSING 

​This practice is a great place to start and can link with an existing habit (like morning coffee). You could even try it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. As you go try increasing the times.

We have created two PDF's designed to fit Phone screens perfectly, so they are always there right at your fingertips. 

  1. Download "Daily Practice" to your phone.
  2. Intentionally make time to pause
  3. Follow the Points
  4. Remember this takes time and will be very hard at first... Don't give up.​


​
Practice of 
meditating on the scriptures with Others
​

1

Read a SHORT portion of scripture together (in several versions) 

Examples could be... Psalm 1, 18, 23, 91, Rom 12, Eph 1, Phil 3, Gal 5


​​

2

Break up and reread it alone (10 mins) - choose one verse, phrase, or word. Ponder it and slowly repeat it. Ask the Lord what He wants to say to you.

(Sometimes a familiar verse loses its meaning. Meditating on it and asking questions helps see it fresh)


​

3

Sing and pray the Psalms:  (5 mins) - this may feel strange at first, but  well worth it.

(Studies have shown that adding simple melodies to words helps the words go from our head to our heart)


​

4

Come back together and share with each other and then respond to what the Father has just been saying.

(sharing about 15 mins - responding/praying 20+ mins)
