Prayer Station Instructions:

Welcome Home! You have just entered into the “floor plan” of your inner self. Please take an opportunity to walk through the house and pause in each room to prayerfully exam your “inner rooms”

Allow your imagination to play a large part in this activity. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your imagination and to help you be open to God’s presence.

Ponder the questions below for each room:

What does this room represent in my life and in my thinking?

What kind of items would I see lying around in this room?

How do I interact with God in this room, if at all?

How often do I let God into this room?

This week, every time you enter the room in your physical home that you struggle the most with inwardly, let it be a reminder of this conversation with God.
