Do you struggle with your prayer life? Are you distracted or anxious when you pray? Do you not know what to pray for? Do you ever wonder if love and contentment will define your life of prayer, instead of restlessness or worry? If so, keep reading...

Let God and the scriptures assist you in unlocking the emotional and spiritual power of meditative prayer.

Spiritual life involves prayer. Most of us have committed time to prayer at some point in our lives. Many of us achieve spiritual victories in prayer. But prayer is more than a ritual and more than asking God for “something” in a time of crisis. It is a way of loving and being present with God and to others. It can open up a cultivated habit of (i) communing with God and (ii) empathically being present to others.

Each section guides you slowly and in accessible language into the world of meditative prayer. Teaching you that prayer is about a change in perspective and mood, the audiobook focuses on variety of moods and acts: Love, contentment, holding the world lightly, praying for others, and the need for daily repetition.

Thankfully, there is a long tradition of reflection prayer handed down to us from the Bible and other great Christian thinkers like Augustine in the 4th-century. If you want thoughtful reflection on particular scriptural passages, with a focus on relief and reprieve prayer provides you amid the daily bustle of life’s challenges, then this audiobook is for you.
