A MONTH OF PRAYING THE WORD: Day 16:The What Psalm 48:9

THE WHAT
What precisely are we to meditate on and ponder--as we Pray the Word of God? The answer is varied, but is simple at the same time. The overall answer is conclusive: We are to meditate on the Bible and what it says. It's the idiosyncrasies of what we learn in the Word of God that makes it more varied.
We are to meditate on, within the Word of God, the following:
A God and his names and characteristics.
B What it tells us to do.
C What it tells us not to do. 
D What we learn from the people and their lives.

PSALM 48:9
Let's take a look at Psalm 48:9 at this time. Grab your Bible and journal, if you do not already have them with you. 
~*~ Write the verse in your own words. Personalize it, paraphrase it, and turn it into a prayer.
~*~ When you hear of the love of God that is unfailing, what do you think and feel? What does it stir within you, if anything? Explain your response.
~*~ Listen. What does God have to say to you about his unfailing love? Try not to say anything today (as much as you can) and just listen to what God shares with you. 

24-HOUR PRAYING THE WORD
Pray for the next 24-hours Psalm 48:9 and nothing else. 
Whenever you can, say to yourself, "God's love for me is unfailing," and then listen. Write down everything he says to you.
