• If you’ve gotten out of the habit of attending worship in person since the pandemic, make plans to rejoin Sunday worship this month.
• Reflect on why it is “give us…” instead of “give me…”

Talk with your Heavenly Father, remembering that He sent Jesus to rescue you and make you His child.

• Thank God for a list of things that you enjoy daily: things that you encounter that are your “daily bread” that create an enriching life for Him.

Examine related scriptures that speak to the topics in each scripture verse.

• Consider the ‘name’ God shares with Moses in Exodus 34:6-7.
• Which of God’s descriptions of Himself stands out to you, and why?

Be still & quiet with God, writing out whatever comes to mind as you consider this week’s Scripture.

Practice denying a specific thing in your life that distracts you from God or that you hold higher than Him.

• Pick something of this world, like TV, or social media, that you partake of daily, and fast from it for one day, giving thanks for the Creator more than the created itself
