Contemplative prayer

Posted on April 18, 2019April 18, 2019 by Norm

“Contemplative prayer, in its simplest form, is prayer in which you still your thoughts and emotions and focus on God Himself. This puts you in a better state to be aware of God’s presence, and it makes you better able to hear God’s voice correcting, guiding, and directing you. Instead of coming with a ‘to do’ list for God, you come with no agenda. The fundamental idea is simply to enjoy the companionship of God, stilling your own thoughts so you can listen should God choose to speak. For this reason, contemplative prayer is sometimes referred to as ‘the prayer of silence’.”

(Jan Johnson, When The Soul Listens)

think about it!

We are made for God alone, who can only be pleased when we turn away from ourselves to devote ourselves to Him.
