Daily Scripture Reflection & Prayer: September 20,2026

LECTIO - Read Scripture Text:   Isaiah 55:6-9

Seek the LORD while he may be found;

Call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way,

And the unrighteous man his thoughts;

And let him return to the LORD,

And he will have mercy for him,

And our God will abundantly pardon him.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are my ways higher than your ways,

And my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.

MEDITATIO - Meditate on text, allow the LORD to touch us with His Word:

Can I surrender to the LORD in loving trust?

BREAKING OPEN THE TEXT:

Isaiah, the prophet, calls us to turn back to God and trust the LORD’s wisdom and mercy while we can, while there is time.

ORATIO – Lifting our minds and hearts to the LORD in prayer:

LORD, Almighty Father, I am seeking You, I am coming to You realizing that without You I am not and will not be. Send the Spirit to rouse within me the full courage needed to surrender to You and to your will as your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, in the garden in prayer. Your will, not mine, is wiser and more loving. Open my mind and heart and soul fully to your love, I pray, guide me this day to You and your transformative love. Amen.

CONTEMPLATIO – Sitting with the LORD in silence for a minute or more
