In this episode we're going to explore our first Spiritual Practice! I'm so excited to share with you one of my personal favorite practices which helps to ground me in simple truth. It's super important to learn to be honest with ourselves if we're ever going to learn to sit quietly in the presence of God and our own soul. This practice involves a really basic approach to doing just that, while at the same time incorporating the practice of listening to God, as well. Listen in, and then check out the resources below for more help implementing today's practice!

Steps to Truth Prayer Journal:

1-My Truth - write down how you're feeling right now. You could be feeling a LOT of different things. Write down as many as seem important to you at the moment. (Feeling word charts: Here's a great one for adults, that's similar to what I mentioned in today's episode! Here's a great one for kids, or for those who prefer emoticons!)

2-Time for Silent Listening - Ask God to bring to mind His truth regarding your circumstances and feelings. Look for these to be based in scripture.

3-Write down as many of these truths (with scripture references) as seem appropriate to you right now.

4-Practice silence again, listening for an invitation from God

5-Respond. Write down your response
