Showing results for "Intimacy with God" in Prayer

What if it wasn't all on you? What if God wanted to not only bear your burdens, but change you and work on your behalf as you engage with him and labor in ministry? Pastor Jeremy Linneman reveals a deeper, more vibrant prayer life that could be yours. Where some approach prayer in a one-sided way, Linneman approaches prayer as both communion with God and an act of boldness seeking God's transformative power to work mightily in our world.

R. T. Kendall invites you to discover what it means to be in the presence of God. In this fresh, new look at God's presence Kendall explores everything from the omnipresence of God to the tangible manifestation of His presence. You will discover why God might at times withhold a sense of His presence while at other times you might experience an acute sense of awe or reverence of God that drives you to your knees in prayer, leads you into spontaneous worship of Him, or brings about healing and other miracles.

This work brings together three prayer practices for each day of the year to enhance contemplative living. First, a brief 'active prayer'; second, spiritual reading; and, third, Lectio Divina. The brief introductory prayer sentences are from various sources - the Bible and traditional prayers of the church or of well-known spiritual writers. The spiritual readings come from 11 of Father Keatings' books and one audiotape, with a month's worth of readings derived from each work. Each day's entry concludes with a brief selection from the Bible, or Lectio Divina.
