  • How you spend this time could change your life.
    1% OF YOUR DAY - 14 MINUTES AND 24 SECONDS


    • Spend more time with Jesus this Lent.
      Join the 1% Challenge and kick start a habit of prayer.

      Commit to spending 1% of your day- 15 minutes- in conversation with God through scripture. 
      15 minutes each day spent in God’s presence – reading, reflecting, responding and resting with his Word – adds up to 90 hours in one year.  
      That is time well spent, and a testimony to how a little at a time turns into something remarkable!

    • Decide on your daily when and where.  Add it to your calendar.
      Open your bible to the scripture for the day.
      Follow the steps of lectio divina to spark a conversation with Jesus through the scripture.

  • Read   Reflect   Respond   Rest

    • Trust in these four basic components of the time-tested, saint-recommended,
      ever-ancient, ever-new way of prayerfully reading Scripture: lectio divina.

    • PREPARE

      • Begin with the sign of the cross.
      • Take a moment to be quiet and still.
      • Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in this prayer time.
    •  
      •  
      • Read

        • Read a Scripture selection slowly and attentively.
        • Note any word, phrase, or image that catches your attention.
        • Consider reading more than once, and/or out loud.
      • Reflect

        • Think about the meaning of whatever caught your attention.
        • Possibly imagine yourself in the scene.
        • What is the Lord saying to you through this text?
        • Are there any: promises to claim, commands to obey, examples to follow, errors to avoid, praises to sing…
      •  
          • Respond

            • Talk to God about the passage or anything else on your heart.
            • Thank him for blessings received; Ask him for what you and others need.
            • Note any changes or actions you are drawn to live out.
          • Rest

            • Spend a few minutes in restful silence with him.
            • “Be still and know that I am God.” (Ps 46:11)
