Prayer Retreat Helps

Alicia’s Favorites:

Over the years, certain quotes, prayers, and hymns have lifted my heart God-ward. I’ve gathered my favorites for you below!

I will be guiding you through your prayer retreat via four online teaching sessions. Each session correlates with a theme. So, when you would like some inspiration or food-for-thought in between our teaching times, you’ll find these folders full of worthy words for your consideration.

Feel free to sample all, none, or some.

Feel free to explore them out of order and out of sync with the sessions.

These are for you and here’s how I suggest that you digest them:

1. As you enter a session, choose a writing to explore from the associated folder
2. Before reading, remind yourself that you and Jesus are reading together. Ask Him to draw your attention to words and concepts as He desires.
3. Read the offering once slowly (in silence or out loud depending on what helps keep your mind focused on the content).
4. Then rest and make note of any words or ideas that stand out to you.
5. Pay attention to any emotional responses to the quote or prayer. Did anything make your heart leap? Your anxiety increase? Your eyebrow raise? Your creativity soar?
6. Hold what you have noticed (in the words and in your emotions) in God’s presence and simply talk with Him about it all. Keep a journal nearby to write down anything you don’t want to forget.
7. Thank God for the writing and for His guidance.
8. Then rest, or return to step 1.

Enjoy!
