Today is the World Day of Prayer. We are in the Christian season of Lent, in which prayer is a point of focus.
I invite all of us to make these next weeks leading up to Easter an intentional time of prayer: There are a variety of methods and types of prayer. Here are some to consider:
Intercessory prayer for our loved ones, our community, and our world; confessional prayer in which we confess our sins to God, repent, and accept God’s forgiveness; prayers of thanksgiving; conversational prayers where we just tell God how we’re doing and we listen and reflect on how God is speaking to us.
Also consider silent prayer, where we do nothing other than rest and yield ourselves to the loving and transforming presence of God.
This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the many ways we communicate with God. Regardless of how you pray, may these next few weeks be a holy and reflective time and may we all pray “God’s will be done.”
