Lectio Divina: Read, Meditate, Pray, and Experience.

Lectio Divina relies on the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the expression of each discipline. Here is a basic exercise in Lectio Divina. In the morning, commit the Bible verse to your memory or write it down and keep it with you. During the day, think about the verse.

You may have the desire to say the verse out loud (read). You may find yourself trying to understand its meaning or a part of the verse is grabbing your attention (meditate). There might me a stirring within you to speak with God or to bring a thought to God (pray). You might feel the loving agape of God or God responding to your presence in the verse (experience).
