Prayer Tip for the Month

Prayer need not be a stream of words directed at God. There is also benefit and blessing in using prayer time as a time of awareness of and meditation on the presence of God. Here is a simple way to try to experience this.

Sit in a quiet place. Sit in whatever posture is comfortable to you. Close your eyes and begin to take slow, deep breaths. As you inhale and exhale, try saying (either aloud or silently) the following verse from Psalm 46:10:

Inhale: "Be still..."
Exhale: "...and know that I am God."

Try to listen and see what God may be trying to say to you!
