This summer, especially since it's the season of Ordinary Time, let's carve out some time together for silence.
Look ahead at the month and try to block off an hour (or more!) to sit in Adoration and reflect on the year so far. The simple act of remembering is a powerful way to connect with God. Through remembrance, we see God's goodness and place Him at the center of our lives. Don't be afraid to linger in memories of times where you experienced God's love or presence deeply. This is a beautiful way to pray and grow in deeper love of God. Give thanks for prayers answered, ask for strength if you feel lost or discouraged, and simply abide in the sweet presence of the Lord.
Here’s 3 questions to get you started while praying:
Where has God been working in your life?
Where is He calling you into deeper trust and surrender?
What are you excited about right now? Write down what it is and how Jesus is a part of it.
Don't spend too much time specifically making plans for the next few months. For now, just spend dedicated time with the Lord to pause, listen, and look at where He has been present in your life.
