Review and Re-Center Around God

This is a specifically Holy Spirit centered review of your inner life.

Review the Week

Have I asked God for the Holy Spirit, not just as a one-time experience (as in baptism), but as a daily experience?

Have I asked God for the Holy Spirit for His leadership and guidance and other facets of help through Him as testified in Scripture?

Have I asked for Him in times of a particular need?

For a greater understanding of the Spirit’s role, search the work of the Spirit in the life of a believer.

Repent (if necessary)

Take time to admit (if needed) that you live day-to-day without asking for the Spirit. James 4:2 says “we have not because we ask not”. Yes, we always have the Spirit, but we don't always ask for his leadership and guidance.

Return (as necessary)

Tell Father God you’re sorry for neglecting this situation (if the case). Ask afresh and know He will grant that.

P.S. I ask this in my morning invocation.

PRAYER


(while inhaling): Holy Spirit....
(while exhaling): ....fall afresh on me....


Repeat 5 to 10 times.

Micro-Meditation Scripture

Psalm 119:33-40 (Hei, 5th letter)

  1. Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees,
    that I may follow it to the end.
  2. Give me understanding,
    so that I may keep your law
    and obey it with all my heart.
    35 Direct me in the path of your commands,
    for there I find delight.
    36 Turn my heart toward your statutes
    and not toward selfish gain.
    37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
    preserve my life according to your word.
    38 Fulfill your promise to your servant,
    so that you may be feared.

    39 Take away the disgrace I dread,
    for your laws are good.
    40 How I long for your precepts!
    In your righteousness preserve my life.
