From Friend #1

-Write how I’m feeling

-Three things I’m grateful for

-One positive thing about my career

-Written out prayer (I feel like it helps me be more focused and its been nice to look back and notice where God answered specific prayer requests that ive written about)

-Set a 5 minute timer and try to listen to God. I sometimes ask for insight on specific things like I prayed for you and jenny and then felt like God prompted me to share a song with her, so I just sent that over after the timer went off. But I just open the floor to God and try to listen more than I speak during that time for either hearing the Holy Spirit speak through me or give me an image of something or encourage an action or thought

-Read my Bible and currently doing the mini swedish method with a friend where we share what stood out, what it tells us about God and how we can apply it to our lives with each other

From Friend #2

1. “Beg for light” – Ask the Spirit to illuminate his presence in your day and speak to you.

2. Review your day with God – Playback your day like a video recording in your mind?s eye, looking for signs of God. Rejoice in the moments when you said yes to him, and repent of the moments when you said no.

3. Pay attention to your emotions – look for God in the undercurrents of your heart. When did you feel close to him? Far away? When did you feel joy? Sorrow?

4. Pray what you got! – Pray one aspect of your day back to God?a sorrow, a gratitude, a need.

5. Renew for tomorrow – we’re so aware of all we did not get done, as well as all our failures. In prayer, we just give these over to God’s mercy and ask him for the gift of rest
