WRAP can lead you to hear Jesus Christ with a personal message just for you.

Tips for Hearing God Every Day

Have you ever thought, “Can I really hear from God every day?” The answer is, “Yes, you can!” But you have to pause. WRAP can help you hear Jesus Christ with a personal message meant just for you. With WRAP, you’ll discover that God’s Word is truly alive and that He wants to speak to you. But you have to pause and make room for Him. Being faithful in reading and praying the Word of God will transform your life forever! Join us today and discover the tips you need to hear from God every day, pausing for a message specifically for you.

Practical Council in the Holy Spirit

Fr. John Horn, in the foreword of our book, WRAP Yourself in Scripture, says,  “WRAP provides a way of receiving practical counsel in the Holy Spirit and a new, intimate relationship with Jesus and the Father. This method of prayer will awaken your inner desire to become more and more ‘filled with all the fullness of God’” (Ephesians 3: 19). Today, we will cover these tips for hearing God every day, pausing, and being ‘filled with all the fullness of God.”

How Much Time Does WRAP Take?

• You can follow this method for as little as 10 minutes or much longer.
• For example, you could take your Bible and journal with you to WRAP in Adoration.

Where should I WRAP?

• Try to pause for a few minutes every day to practice WRAP.
• To pause means to intentionally slow down and step away from the chaos of daily life.
• Spiritually, it’s more than just taking a break; it means you take time to be with God in prayer-a time free of distractions, to pray and connect to His peaceful presence.
• Go to a place where you can be alone to pray and listen for God’s voice; you may simply shut the door.

What Supplies Do I need for WRAP?

• You will need an empty notebook to use as your journal, a pen or pencil and of course, your Bible.
• Keep a zippered notebook or tote bag that holds these supplies so you will have them handy

How do I Select Verses for WRAP?

• Choose a section from a daily or Sunday Mass reading.
• You could choose a Psalm.
• Choose a passage that’s about 5 to 10 verses.

How do I Begin?

• Close your eyes and picture in your mind that the Lord is sitting with you, and you can sense his loving, sustaining presence.
• Offer a simple prayer of thanksgiving and invite the Holy Spirit to guide and speak to you.

Personal Application

• Grab a pen and a small, inexpensive notebook and call it your WRAP Journal, plus your Bible.
• Turn to Psalm 27  in your Bible and WRAP with it.
