PSALM FOUR VERSE FOUR

The Coverdale version from Book of Common Prayer.  Psalm 4 verse 4.
 Stand in awe , and sin not:
commune with your own heart, in your chamber, and be still.

Psalm 46,verse 10;    Be still then and know that I  am God

Spend a few moments quieting yourself,
settle into a comfortable and respectful position.
In solitude and in silence give the Lord your attention.
Listen.  Be present to God.
In God's presence let your heart be open to Him

You may let God speak to you through your experiences of the day.
The Lord might bring to mind moments when you were Christlike today
or show you where you fell short of that.  Then ask for grace to improve on that in future.

When you are ready, let God speak to you through scripture.
Having slowly read through a short passage of scripture ...a few times...
just wait and see if any of that relates to your own experience.

It is all right to thank the Lord and fall asleep .
