Take Time to Pray
Psalm 18:1-3
1 I love You, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
Examine
Psalm 52:8
8 But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love
for ever and ever.

God
God causes flourishing.
God's love never fails.
God's love lasts forever.

I flourish when I trust God.
What God sees as flourishing may not be what I see as flourishing.
Do
Question

Response
I am reflecting God to those around me.
I am studying God's Word and putting it into action when God says "go."
I am talking to God in prayer and listening for His answer.
I am spending quiet time with God and resting in his peace.
I am like an olive tree producing fruit for God.
