JUNE: SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE OF PRAYER
Prayer is simply a conversation with God. Like a child talking with their parent, as children of God, we can communicate with our Heavenly Father. However, we so often either forget or confuse prayer. Lindsay Schramm talks about the faith it takes to practice prayer and how prayer runs contrary to the world we live in. Still, an authentic prayer life is vital in our pursuit of The Good Life.
5 SIMPLE STEPS TO PRACTICE PRAYER:
-
Select and commit to a time and location to pray each day.
-
Keep a prayer journal all month.
-
Pray the Prayer of Examen at least three times a week before bed.
-
Once a week, spend 30 minutes in uninterrupted prayer.
-
Be intentional about praying for things you want to see God do in other people’s lives, not just your own.
