Jacob
15: And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
6: And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

For Contemplation and Silent Prayer
1-Read receptively for the first time slowly- (pause)
come to the scripture with an uncluttered and open heart and mind laying down all burdens.
2-Read for the second time slowly - (pause)
come to the scripture with a curious wonder
and receive a word or phrase which speaks to you.
3-Read for the third time slowly - (pause)
come to the scripture with thanksgiving and awe
and respond to God with spontaneous praise and prayer.
4-Read for the fourth time slowly- (pause)
come to the scripture with all your brokenness
and rest in God who holds all beingness
5-Be still........aware of the breath......aware of
life
