Have you tried this? After you have read the passage quietly, slowly, try putting it in a personalized prayer. Place your name right there in the midst of His Word. It may seem difficult at first. It may also bring areas we need to take a look at with His guidance. His Word changes our heart, it changes our walk.
Prayer - Offer the internalized passage back to God in the form of a personalized prayer of adoration, confession, renewal, petition, intercession, affirmation, or thanksgiving.
Scripture-
Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying.
Romans 12: 9-12
Reading - Slowly read the Scripture passage several times
Meditation - Take some time to reflect on the words and phrases in the text. Which words, phrases or images speak to you most?
Contemplation - What word or image captures the spirit of the passage for you?
