THE SPIRITUAL PRACTICE OF PRAYER
We are being formed. Not a question of if, but by what or by whom…. In January we began a journey to visit what intentional spiritual formation in the way of Jesus could look like for us, this year…In Spring we began with the practice of Sabbath - a weekly act of trust in which we: Rest → Delight → Gratitude → Worship and thus shape our way of being in the world - 24-7. Practices in the Way of Jesus are about making room. Often doing less, not more. Think the Beatitudes. We create space to BE with God, and BEcome like Him. Formation doesn’t happen all at once. It begins with one small practice… repeated over time. Then, like water shaping a canyon, our life is formed.
This Sunday we will continue with the practice of Prayer. Prayer is simply the medium through which we communicate and commune with God. Prayer is Life with God. In dedicating particular space and time to be with God we become like him and partner with him in His world. In preparation for Sunday, you are encouraged to spend a moment each day with the prayer Jesus used to teach His disciples to pray: Here is a version, or choose your own…
“Pray like this: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one. (For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.)” Amen. Matthew 6:9-13 NLT
