Lectio divina is intended to be a restful and curious time of engaging with God, not unlike other types of meditation. Rather than thinking about what this time should be like, we open ourselves up to whatever occurs. In this practice, we find rest and even playfulness. We not only participate with our analytical brain but make space for our whole selves to show up and engage with God, Scripture, and the feelings that well up within—even if they are small, slight, and barely noticeable.
