The Prayer Practice - Session 01: Talking to God
This session is from the Prayer Practice made by Practicing the Way. When the disciples asked Jesus, “Teach us to pray” in Luke 11, Jesus gave them a pre-made prayer, or what some call a liturgy, to pray to God. As we learn the pragmatics of prayer, we’ll begin habituating and fine-tuning a daily prayer rhythm. The practice for this session is to create a daily prayer rhythm by deciding on a daily time and place to pray, and we pick out a pre-made prayer to talk to God. Session 01 explores how in various seasons of our lives when we’re exhausted, tired, traveling, grieving, doubting, or distracted, liturgies can carry us through and guide our prayers.
Key Scripture: Jeremiah 33:3
