MAP for Life – Meditate And Pray

Meditate

I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.  Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” (Romans 12:1-2)

Pray

Mon. – meditate on God’s mercy to us

Tues. – ask God to help you offer yourself daily as a living sacrifice

Wed. – commit to Him to strive, through His strength, to pursue holiness

Thurs. – pray for the strength to avoid conforming to the world around you

Fri. – ask God to renew your mind through His Word

Sat. – ask Him to bring your life in line with His will

Meditate Read the scripture slowly to yourself several times, letting its truths fill your mind and heart. Try to recall the passage several times during the day, listening to God as He instructs you in what He wants you to learn.

Pray As you read the passage, ask God to help you comprehend its truths and to live your life in a way that reflects those truths.
