Season 1: How to Pray - Episode 8

In this episode we want to demystify the term contemplation and see how scripture encourages us to mediate as a part of prayer. All throughout scripture we are encouraged to meditate on God’s Word day and night and to reflect on what He has said. We all need to create space in our lives where we can stop, be with God and dwell on the things of God.

QUESTIONS + EXERCISE

- Where do we tend to spend most of our time and focus?

- If someone was to describe the thing in our lives that shaped us the most, what would it be?

- In what ways are meditating or contemplating God’s Word and ways easy or challenging for you?

Think about a time when you truly experienced a moment of meditation where the world seemed to fade and it was just all about the presence of God.

Read Colossians 4:2-6 and spend some time meditating on these verses and see ways that God may want to change your focus and practice of living out our faith.
