  Welcome to Faithful Friday.
• 0:02
  Today we'll spend a few moments in scripture, reflection, and prayer.
• 0:07
  If you're driving or unable to pause right now, simply listen and come back to this reflection later when you can give it your full attention.

  Today's scripture comes from John chapter 4, verses 7 through 15.
• 0:21
  There came a woman of Samaria to draw water.
• 0:24
  Jesus said to her, Give me a drink.
• 0:27
  For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
• 0:32
  The Samaritan woman said to him, How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?
• 0:39
  For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
• 0:42
  Jesus answered her, If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, Give me a drink.
• 0:50
  You would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.
• 0:54
  The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep.
• 1:00
  Where do you get that living water?
• 1:03
  Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
• 1:11
  Jesus said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again.
• 1:17
  But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst.
• 1:22
  The water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
• 1:30
  The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water that I might not thirst nor come here to draw.
• 1:39
  I'm asking you now to reflect on this question What am I using to satisfy a thirst that only God can fill?
• 1:52
  Go ahead and pause this recording now if you're able, and let's spend a few moments talking with God about what you heard.
• 1:58
  Ask him what he wants you to understand, where he is calling you to grow, and what steps he wants you to take next.
• 2:05
  When you're ready, come back and we'll close together in prayer.
• 2:15
  Welcome back.
• 2:17
  Let's pray the prayer Jesus taught us.
• 2:20
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
• 2:29
  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
• 2:41
  Amen.
• 2:43
  As you go into your day,
• 2:45
  Carry the scripture with you.
• 2:47
  Ask yourself: this week, where do you see God showing up in your life?
• 2:52
  Thank you for joining me for Faithful Friday.
• 2:54
  I'll see you next week.
