TIME OUT WITH GOD3 Rivers Retreats Ministry, Saturday 1st April

PRAYER GUIDE B

1. Glance over gently the picture on the reverse side of this sheet which is entitled ‘Celebrant’ by Tim Lowly without taking it apart by piece by piece. Take notice of what you are drawn to.1

2. Come to Jesus in prayer and ask Jesus for the gift of the Holy Spirit in this prayer and reflection time.

3. Notice the streams of water flowing from the skies onto the rooftop and over the girl’s outstretched hands and notice Jesus’ invitation too: “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” (John 4:13-14, 7:38). Dialogue with Jesus with the following questions: a) If each of the spouts of water coming off the roof represented one of the 6 streams found in Christian Spirituality which one would you want to be standing under most directly, like the girl? b) Which ones seem to be a side spout to where you are at the moment in your journey with God?

4. Close the prayer time with thanking God for what He has revealed to you and if necessary ask for His help to further grow in your relationship with Him?
