Summary

This God Hears Her conversation will provide guidance for creating a spiritually forming habit.

Notes and Quotes:
“I am going to be still in the presence of the Lord and allow the power of the Holy Spirit to work through me so that I will be a channel today of His grace and His power.” —Ann Voskamp
“A life that is yielded ultimately yields the most.” —Ann Voskamp
“It’s not about what I have to get done in a day. It’s about how I am living a cruciform life so that Your kingdom comes and Your will will be done.” —Ann Voskamp
“The shape and form of my days and my life, my thinking and my mind, needs to be shaped and formed like a cross—where everything comes down from above (vertical beam) and with that, living with a heart of gratitude that goes back up to God. Then, I strive to live giving out to the world (horizontal beam).” —Ann Voskamp
Verses:
Exodus 14
Zephaniah 3:17
