Your Summer Reading List June 22, 2026 Devotional

Lectio Divina

Let us begin our week by awakening ourselves to God’s presence through the practice of Lectio Divina. Read the below scripture slowly three times through and allow space between each reading. Listen for the prompting of the Spirit to a word or phrase. Focus on the word or phrase throughout your week.


The Lord is good to all;
he has compassion on all he has made.
All your works praise you, Lord;
your faithful people extol you.
They tell of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might,
so that all people may know of your mighty acts
and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion endures through all generations.
Psalm 145:9-13
