Simple Listening Prayer | Hearing God in the Bible | Mathew 16:13 20 A simple and time-honoured Christian prayer practise known as Lectio Divina is our guide to help us listen to God today. This is one way for us to pray and reflect with God on how our journey to become like Jesus is going. It helps us remember that prayer is meant to be a conversation, that we need to both listen and speak. This type of prayer can help us to hear God through the words in the Bible in new w...ays. It is important to remember that these prayers are not meant to make you feel guilt or shame if you missed out on an invitation. The primary focus in a prayer of examen is to notice God's invitations that you missed so that you will recognize them and participate with His leading tomorrow. If you have questions about this video, Christian meditation, about who God is, or who we are as a community? - Email us at [email protected] Someone will get back to you, to help guide you in the next step of your discipleship journey. #meditation #prayer #christianmeditation #prayerpractice #spiritualpractice #spiritualformation #bible #simpleprayer #simplechristianmeditation #simplemeditation #relfect #reflection #reflectionprayer, #joy #love #lectiodivina #scripture #bibleprayer

++ Join us this morning at 10:15AM right here on Facebook! ++ Every Tuesday we post a new prayer practice. We use practices like these to create space for God to work in our hearts.
