When was the last time you intentionally set aside a few minutes to be still and quiet in God’s presence? Most of us spend so much time talking, worrying, planning, and filling our lives with noise that we rarely make room to simply listen.

This free five-day devotional guide accompanies my message, Getting Quiet to Wake Up: Learning to Listen Through Christian Meditation, from our Learning to Pray sermon series. Drawing on Scripture and the Christian contemplative tradition, it offers a practical way to deepen your prayer life by becoming more attentive to the God who is already present.

Each day includes a Scripture reading, a short devotional reflection, a question for personal reflection, and a simple spiritual practice. Together, we’ll explore how God meets us in silence, how to recognize God’s presence in everyday life, how to practice listening prayer, and how to discern God’s guidance as we take our next faithful steps.

Download the free devotional guide below and set aside a few minutes each day to practice stillness and silence. You don’t need to have an extraordinary spiritual experience or hear an unmistakable voice from heaven. Simply begin with the assurance that God is already with you.
