#4 Moving Forward

Starting with a moment of thankfulness.

“Lord God, thank you for an opportunity to know you. I am thankful for a way to discover who you are.”

Take a moment and think of something you are thankful for and tell God about it.

Continuing with a short prayer.

“God, I do want to know you, understand what you are like, feel like I am near you and pleasing you. Please help me to hear you through these stories you left for me to read.”

Praying is that simple. Is there anything else you want to tell God?

It might be different than you expect, but after the story there will be a few questions to help you discover for yourself about who God is and what that means for your life.

“Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn’t enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, is a thief and a robber. But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice…I am the good shepherd.” ~ Jesus

John 10:1-4, 11
