Week 9 Meditation and Prayer
This week is simple but powerful. Over the course of the week read through all the cross references for 1 John 2:1-6 (and write each verse reference near the reference point in this passage on you printed copy). But instead of pounding it out in one sitting, take it a little at a time. Plan to read a few cross references each day.
The reason we are slowing down with these particular cross references is because these verses so powerfully flush out the Gospel.

As you read take even five minutes and meditate on the verses you read. Write in your journal the words and phrases that are most powerful to you.
Spend prayer time remembering and acknowledging the ways the Gospel has changed everything for you.
Approach God with gratitude solely over God's abundant gift of grace and salvation for you.
Tell God the Gospel story. One of the most popular conversation starters in getting to know people is asking a couple how they met and fell in love. Spend time with the Lord telling the greatest Story of all time in your own words and enjoy worshipping Christ as you recall all that He did to save you. Reveling in remembrance not only leads us to worship, but it also prepares us to readily share the Gospel with others.
Repent of heart attitudes or behavior that fall short of God's glory and thank God for his unending forgiveness.
