Dear Friends,

As most of you know we have been thinking together about prayer lately in our worship together.  This is largely in response to your desire to grow deeper with God and to learn new ways to pray.  I had asked you to share with me on the green ‘journaling’ sheets several weeks back:  “What needs to be happening in you so that God can do greater things through you?”  Last month in this space I asked you to consider “prayer walking” as you vacationed this summer.  We have explored in Sunday worship simple prayer, the Prayer of Examen, the A.C.T.S. prayer, and Lectio Divina. 

So I’m wondering…what’s happening in you?  As you have been prayerful… (remember that definition from Steve Ott I shared with you?  “Being prayerful is being in the present with both eyes open to God and to life in dynamic new ways.”)…what’s been happening in you?  I’d love to hear from you!  Or better, let me invite you to share with someone other than me what your experience of prayer has been like.  Find someone in the church and ask them:  What’s been happening in your prayer?  What new things has God been teaching you as you have been prayerful?  And listen carefully to what you hear before you share with them what your experience has been. 

And who knows, maybe you’ll soon find yourself sharing with someone at work, at school, at the gym….what’s been happening in you and what God is doing through you.  Stranger things have happened! 

See you in church!

Tons of love…
