Pathways to Prayer There are many opportunities for us to draw alongside God and seek his love, guidance and peace. We can renew our prayer life and by doing so seek to renew our service for God. Prayer is a pathway to communion with God. “Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.” Luke 5:16 Jesus had a habit of getting alone with God for times of prayer. These ways to pray, set out in this eBook, drawn from the deep well of Christian history to make praying a habit to enjoy in our busy and wearying times. 1. Praying with the Bible 2. Pair Up. 3.

You cannot see your hands but you know that they are there. Sometimes we feel so far from God and so marooned with trouble that we think we have lost God in our life but just as you know the hands are there, although you cannot see them, know that God is with you during this grim time. 16.

Praying for others 21. Praying with Purpose 22. Persevere in Prayer 23. Silence You can sit in silence with God. Do not be afraid of silence with God. Focus your attention on God. “For God alone my soul in silence waits.” Ps 62.1 24 Holy Walking Prayer is a way that we leave the busyness of life behind and get into the presence of God. We are told to possess the mind of Christ in Philippians 2:5. The mind of Christ was filled with the thoughts of God. We are all busy juggling everyday life and it can be difficult to stop and take time out to reflect, retreat and pray. In many ways having time to pray is as much a time to go forward… a time to trust in God more, nourish our soul and reaffirm our life’s purpose and direction. If you want to be a disciple and you are serious about wanting to know God better and to grow in your walk with God then setting time aside for God is essential. Disciples are always seeking to become more faithful followers of God.
