Practicing the Presence

Embracing God through Lectio Divina

Online | Wednesdays | 8:00 PM Central

Lectio Divina, which means “divine reading,” is a transformative practice that has helped Christians grow closer to God for centuries. It’s a practice that invites us to slow down, listen deeply, and allow God’s Word to speak to our hearts in a personal and meaningful way.

The journey starts with a slow, thoughtful reading of a Scripture passage. As you meditate on the text, you’ll listen to what God is saying to your heart. Then you’ll respond to God in your own words, sharing your thoughts and feelings with Him. Finally, in contemplation, you’ll rest in God’s presence, feeling His nearness and embracing His love in the stillness.

“Practicing the Presence” with Lectio Divina is a gentle and enriching experience that is designed to draw you closer to the heart of God. It helps you feel His presence more personally, making Him a close companion who walks with you, guiding and shaping your life moment by moment.
