We’re continuing our series on listening for Jesus inside spiritual disciplines – because listening is inherently part of practices such as rest, reading scripture, or prayer. In these practices, we are having conversations with God, which means in these practices, we can hear Him louder.
Today, Marnie is with Jennifer Tucker, author of Breath Prayers, Present in Prayer, and Prayer in Motion. We’re talking about different ways we can pray and connect with God, from breath prayer to Lectio Divina to prayer while moving, and how we can listen for God in each of these prayer types.
Maybe you’ve always prayed but you’re in a "prayer rut," or maybe your prayers feel check-box-y and you’d like to connect with God more deeply.
Prayer is not about perfection. Prayer is about connection in a conversation where we speak and we listen.
If you are longing to hear God in different ways of praying, this episode is for you.
Marnie and Jennifer discuss:
- How to reimagine prayer as connection, not perfection.
- How to pray when you don’t have words.
- A prayer practice that makes scripture come to life.
- Ways to pray while moving our bodies.
- What listening for God looks like in different kinds of prayer.
- How prayer changes when we realize God is right here, right now.
