In this mini-sode, Alan shares a way of praying scripture that has become an important part of his spiritual rhythm. In a sense, it’s not just about “me praying scripture.” It’s also about God’s Spirit praying scripture into me.

It’s a way of not only thinking about and studying scripture, but also letting scripture soak into my being—into our emotions, our intentions, our perspectives, our deep beliefs. It’s a way of encountering God in scripture.

At the heart of his mini-sode is a six-minute guided prayer in Psalm 16:5-9.

9Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure…
