OptIN: Practicing Prayer

We often rush into prayer. “It is time to eat, let’s pray real quick,” or “It’s time for the meeting or Bible study to start; let’s pray.” As a result, prayer is often how we prepare for other activities. But we rarely prepare to pray. Even less common are times we intentionally slow down to practice praying.

Too many Christians experience prayer as shallow or empty because they haven’t been taught how to practice. This book is not just a collection of prayers. It includes exercises for skills like silence, confession, and praying together, as well as tools and models to make aspects of praying easier.

We know prayer is important, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The good news is it’s possible to grow in prayer. Help your congregants find new depths in their prayer life by practicing together, learning from each other, and noticing the Spirit moving in your midst.
