The Collaboratory : A Listening Prayer Experience – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Let every heart prepare Him room.

The Lord's hand is with you.

As we dive into Mark 10:46-52, let me invite you to listen, and to have your eyes opened to the kindness of God, the possibility of a miracle, and the reality that God will never pass you by.

Your palms are sweaty, your breath quickens... you sense your body preparing for the unknown. You go straight to fear, worst case scenarios, perpetuating the emotions. But what if the same sensory experience led to hope? What if you recognized that the unknown before you is an invitation to trust the God who is with you? What if you were to get curious about what lies ahead because you do not go alone? And even the hard things can be made to have purpose...

What if this beautiful invitation in Matthew 6 to not worry and rather rest in the love and provision of God was the work of your life? Everything might change for you... and for the next generation.

Buried in Philippians 4 is a secret... a template for prayer that leads to contentment.

What if you and I were to practice what Paul invites? What if we were to let our worries and anxieties shape our prayers rather than let them shape our attitudes? What if we were to get deeply honest with our desires? To practice gratitude as an act of violence against the foe of discontentment? To remember that the Lord is closer than our very breath... and that peace is available to us in every circumstance?

Let's listen together.

Join me as we steep in the Lord's Prayer. May we receive this gift of Jesus as an instrument to orient us toward heaven, recalibrate our heart's desires, and reframe our story as God's story.

We visit the scene of Jesus' first miracle. And we discover that miracles come by the hands of those who are tucked in the margins and near to God's voice.

What do you need? Where are you pressed, desperate, longing? Simply ask Jesus, "What is my next right step?" and whatever comes into your mind to do, however unrelated to your goal it might be (and as long as it is in alignment with Scripture) obey. Do the thing. It might just be by way of your obedience that a miracle comes.

Today we dive into the encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4. She has some preconceived notions of who this man is, of who the messiah will be, of what worship is meant to look like.

And yet one encounter with the One who IS living water changes everything. A brush with the true identity of God reorients her very identity.

Could the same be true for you and I?

Let's listen together.

We dive in today to Mark 1 to discover the power in Jesus' words "Follow Me", to acknowledge the power of drawing away, especially when we are tired and potentially overworked, and to accept the invitation to talk to Jesus to get our next right step.

Take time to pause and ask:

God, would you direct my steps?

Prevent me from being tempted to go in any direction that would keep me from what you have in store.

Music by Matt Wright

What might this ancient text speak to you today? How might you be encouraged by the fact that there is a light that cannot be quenched by darkness? And that that light has come to YOU?

May you be filled with hope, refreshed with grace, grounded in truth.

Let's listen together.
