A Rule of Life for Scripture, Prayer, & Formation

This guide is designed to lead you through a daily rhythm of Scripture, reflection, prayer, and embodied response. Each day invites you to be formed into a distinct people, shaped by distinct love, and aligned with the distinct Kingdom of God.
Move slowly. Read prayerfully. Allow the Spirit to speak.

Day 4 — Submitting to the Kingdom of God

Aligning our lives with Kingdom Truth

Scripture

Colossians 1:24-2:5

Reflection

What Kingdom truth is revealed in this text, and how does it differ from what our culture claims is true?
Where does your life currently align with this Kingdom truth?
Where are you tempted to believe or live according to cultural narratives rather than God’s Kingdom?
What specific area of your life is the Holy Spirit inviting you to surrender, reorder, or trust?

Requesting Prayer

Having discerned the truth of God’s Kingdom, ask Him to align your heart, mind, and life with His will.

Bring your needs honestly before God, trusting His wisdom, power, and love.

Prayer Prompt:
God, align my desires with Your Kingdom.
Give me the grace to surrender where I am resisting You.

Remain open and attentive to the Spirit’s leading.

Breath Prayer

Inhale: “Your Kingdom come…”Exhale: “…Your will be done.”

Return to this prayer throughout the day as a reminder of who you are becoming in Christ.
