P.R.A.Y. Scripture Fall 2017 Assignments and Optional Reading Plan Book of Philippians Each week there is an assigned chapter(s) to read from the P.R.A.Y. Scripture book to understand the method, and one passage from the Book of Philippians to practice this method of listening prayer. At the end of that week the Sunday sermon will focus on the Scripture passage from the previous week. Be sure to pick up your copy of P.R.A.Y. Scripture at the Welcome Center. There are also optional reading passages from the Book of Acts that you can use each week. The reading plan begins in Acts 11 because we covered chapters 1-10 in the sermons this summer. If you did not hear the sermons it would be good to read Acts chapters 1-10 before utilizing the P.R.A.Y. Scripture method in Acts chapters 11-28. Remember, the P.R.A.Y. Scripture method is not about quantity of Scripture read, but slowing our lives down to have a quality conversation with God through His Word. If you only have time to practice this method of listening prayer once per week use the Philippians passages. However, I encourage you to challenge yourself to choose 2-3 other times per week to practice hearing the voice of God in Scripture!
