   Psalm 119:137-144 G | Simple Lectio Divina | Faith @ Home

   “Gales of stress threaten to bend us to the ground” (from Psalm 119:137-44 in “We Love Your Invitations”). We sure do need support to come back to balance! The Psalms, Listening Practices, and conversations are a consistent way to regulate our minds. Engage with this Listening Practice today by letting us know what stands out to you. The stress of life, the gale force winds of uncertainty, threaten. And we need safe spaces to become. To become at peace with who we are. To become still. To start the process of moving again. To be loved – by God, and by ourselves.

   Psalm 119:161-168 F | Simple Lectio Divina | Faith @ Home

   “We are treasure hunters who find a cave of gold in your instructions,” is one of the lines from Psalm 119:161-168. What treasure are you seeking? And have you opened up your treasure map? You are invited to the pathway of relationship with God who is kind and generous. Around every curve on this pathway find caves of gold in the invitations of the Divine. Reading from “We Love Your Invitations,” we, Jennifer and Reade Holtslander, explore what we notice. Carrying those ideas into conversation with God and one another, we pray together, and model a form of prayer called a Listening Practice (or Lectio Divina). Listen along with us to join the practice. A prayer form to use in Spiritual Direction Listening Practices, and other prayer forms, can be part of your session with a Spiritual Director. If you have been looking for an online Spiritual Director, connect with Jennifer today for your complementary 15 minute exploration session. Spiritual Direction needs to be a good fit for the Directee (you!) and the Director (Jennifer)! An exploration conversation helps us to sort that out.

   Psalm 119:81-88 E | Simple Lectio Divina | Faith @ Home

   Are you exhausted? Frustrated? Do you want something different? Psalm 119:81-88 invites us into a conversation about our frustration. As people of faith in a topsy-turvy world, these are the honest feelings that can bubble up within us. When we acknowledge the way things are for us in this moment, we can find the comfort we need. When we reach out for the support of the Divine and companions on the spiritual journey, we can survive hard times. Modelling a Lectio Divina Prayer Practice This short episode of “Living Faith at Home” models a prayer practice of listening to scripture and talking with a companion about what the Life-giving Spirit says to us. Grab your note file and listen along with us to nurture your spiritual life. Reading from Psalm 119:81-88 in Jennifer’s paraphrase – “We Love Your Invitations: A Psalm 119 Paraphrase” – we can find our own selves in the story of God’s invitations to us. You can get your copy of “We Love Your Invitations: A Psalm 119 Paraphrase” from your local Amazon extension (see the links here) (https://livingfaithathome.ca/links/). Buy a copy for yourself and one for a friend! And as you prepare for holiday seasons upcoming, this combination of photographs and encouraging words might just be what you are looking for! Other Listening Practices you might enjoy The audio recordings of Psalm 119 Part A (https://livingfaithathome.ca/psalm-119-1-8-a-simple-lectio-divina-faith-home/), Part B (https://livingfaithathome.ca/psalm-119-9-16-b-simple-lectio-divina/), P (http://Psalm 119)art C (https://livingfaithathome.ca/psalm-119-17-24-c-simple-lectio-divina-faith-home/), and Part D (https://livingfaithathome.ca/psalm-119-25-32-d-simple-lectio-divina-faith-home/) are just a click away. If you are feeling empty and exhausted, a Psalm of Lament is a good companion.
