Glory In The Mess

In this episode, Dan Lee, Helen Carr and Robin Dillamore continue their conversation about Practising the Presence of God.

We discuss an article by Henri Nouwen entitled "How to (actually) pray without ceasing" and consider Nouwen's idea that we can convert unceasing thinking into unceasing prayer. We also talk about why this is harder than it sounds, and how the practice of contemplative prayer can help make a difference. Nouwen's article can be found at https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2022/01/24/henri-nouwen-prayer-unceasing-242269/

During our introductions, we mention a worship and prayer organisation called Burn 24-7 UK. Please note that this organisation has since changed its name to Worship 24/7 Network and no longer has any links with Burn 24-7 in the USA.

This is the second in a series of episodes which will be published every two weeks during the final quarter of 2025.
