Holy Poems & Wisdom: A 52-week Faith Challenge

Beloved Gizas,
Give a listen … Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God…

I’m excited to invite you to listen with me on a 52-week faith journey through holy poems & wisdom. I pray this will be the year when we can listen together, chapter by chapter, to the entire Poetry and Wisdom Literature of the Bible, right here at Giza! My first week’s audio plan is provided below.

If you have any questions or private prayer requests for me as a chaplain, as always, message me here. We can set up an email exchange, or phone call, as you prefer. Upon request, I will be happy to email you my 52-week reading checklist to print out, in case you would like to read your own version/language, in synch with us. Thank you so much for gathering with me. Let’s get this trip started! Alicia xo

:pray:Lord Jesus, Thank you for Your love poems to us, and Your wisdom in the Bible. You tell us that those who love You will keep your Words – and your Words will keep us. Bless us with the desire to know You more deeply, as we listen to Your poems and wisdom, week by week, with open ears and hearts.

Speak to us, Lord! Holy Spirit, quicken the passages that have true meaning for each individual here. For us, a group of diverse believers and inquirers, kindly grant points of agreement in prayer and faith intention. Help us dwell humbly and kindly with You in our humanity, knowing the image of the Divine truly rests in each hearer drawn to Your Word.

From Alpha to Omega, Heavenly Father, abide with us, and be honored in all that we do in 2023! :latin_cross: Love, Gizas gathered around holy poems & wisdom

“At night, I open the window

and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door
and open the love-window.
The moon won’t use the door,
only the window.”
