There is no more powerful, succinct and timeless prayer in the Bible than Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3, really for all Christians for all time. It is up there with Jesus’ “Priestly Prayer,” that he prayed for us in John 17. It is a prayer of Paul’s passionate hope for others to share with him in his union with Christ. Please read and listen to it slowly and repeat that over time. As the words sink-in, their meaning will expand and magnify. And the further you get in the spiritual life with God, the greater will be their meaning to you. Every sentence deserves to be meditated upon, then prayed.

Pray This Way. With Dr. Hal Green
Humanity as a whole is in desperate need to rediscover and reconnect with God. Prayer offers the only means available to do so directly and satisfactorily. Dr. Hal Green has been teaching and conducting prayer retreats for three decades across the Midwest of the United States. His book, Pray Like This to Connect with God, is set to be published later this year. Like the book, the podcasts will describe the nature of prayer, along with examining various aspects of prayer and praying. These subjects will be followed by a multitude of prayer exercises in the areas of breath prayers, praying the scriptures (Lectio Divina), praying with the saints, meditative prayer, and contemplative prayer.
The goal of the podcasts will be to guide persons from ignorance of, to encounter with, God. Sadly, so few persons are aware of the astounding wealth of prayer knowledge and experience available to us across more than two millennia. The heart of the podcasts, then, will be to assist listeners to morph from prayer as a monologue to God, to prayer as a dialogue with God.
