Today’s Reflection
Listen for God to speak to you in and through, around and within, over and behind and out front of everything that you read. Keep asking yourself, “What is God seeking to say to me in all of this?”

Today’s Scripture
Even before a word is on my tongue,
O Lord, you know it completely.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
—Psalm 139:4–5 (NRSVUE)
Prayer for the Week
God, I rest in your word. I chew on it slowly. Thoughtfully. Contemplatively. So I can plumb the depths of all that you have to say. I trust that as I digest your word you are at work. Amen.
Submit your prayer to The Upper Room.
