Prayer
Prayer forms the lifeblood of the Christian way of life. Through prayer, we communicate to God and through prayer we discover God's purposes for us. Prayer takes many forms, among which are the more standard ideas that many of us have grown up to recognise. Prayer is a constant inner journey with God, and wer believe that God speaks to us constantly. Techinques in prayer are simply means through which we can 'tune in' to that conversation which is already underway.
You might find it useful, periodically, to take stock of your prayer life. Such reviews allow us to adapt that aspect of our inner life to that season of life that we find ourselves in. There are tools to aid you in your quest:
