The following is from Antioch Waco, a church we attended in the past.
WORSHIP
Thanksgiving: Enter God’s presence by thanking Him for specific things.
Worship: Sing to the Lord a new song from your heart or create a playlist of worship songs that easily lead you into the presence of God.
WORD
Study the Bible: Pick a book of the Bible and systematically read one to three chapters a day. Highlight verses that grab your attention. Pick a topic like grace, peace or holiness and gather verses to memorize and meditate. Pick a person in the Bible and study their life, asking God for insight.
Pray the Bible: We are transformed when we take the Bible into God’s presence and interact with Him. Read a
verse and then pray it back to God, speaking directly to Him. (Pray Psalm 1, 23, 103, 139)
Meditate on who God is: Father, Son and Holy Spirit (see “Who Is God?” list). Read one Scripture at a
time and thank Him for who He is.
Meditate on who you are in Christ: (see “Who I Am in Christ” list). Read one Scripture at a time and thank
Him for who you are in Christ as a new creation.
Memorize the Bible: see “Scripture Memory Strategies.”
PRAYER
Fellowship with God: Express your heart to God and allow Him to share His heart with you.
Pray for yourself: Create a list of Scriptures to pray over yourself. Pray over your day.
John 15:9 – As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
Prayer: “Jesus, I ask for grace to abide in Your love today.”
Ephesians 3:16 – [I pray] that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with
power through his Spirit in your inner being.
Prayer: “God, strengthen me today with Your power by the Holy Spirit.”
Intercession: Pray for your family, friends, coworkers, leaders and those who don’t know Jesus. Pray for your city,
nation, nations and unreached people groups. Ask the Lord for a specific prayer assignment in this season.
Prayer: “Lord, is there a person, a place or a purpose in Your heart for which You are inviting me to pray?”
LISTEN
Listen and journal: Ask, “Father, is there anything You want to speak to me today?” Write in a journal the words, images and Scriptures God speaks to you. His voice will always align with Scripture and with His character. Ask other specific questions. Wait in His presence with a listening heart. Enjoy being with Him.
Ask, “Lord, is there anything You want to exchange with me?” (E.g., burdens for His peace, fear for His perfect
love or heaviness for His joy)
Ask, “Father, is there anyone You want to encourage? What do You want to say to them?” Listen for words of
encouragement that He speaks for others, write them down and give it to them or pray it over them.
