Session 4: Learning more about prayer

PRAYER
 - we don't always have to use words. In SILENCE we can come close to God. It's comfortable to sit in stillness and at peace with someone who knows and loves you.
Mary sat at Jesus' feet, but Martha was too busy rushing around

 - we can pray through the day, as we go through our tasks and routines knowing that Jesus is bedside us, wanting the best for us.

We tried a Prayer Walk around the church and linked it to
getting up in the morning (the creche area),
washing and getting ready for the day (at the font),
going out into the world (standing at the door of the church),
the daily events and situations (walking down the aisle),
coming home (being blessed at the altar),
settling down for the night (lighting a candle as a symbol of Jesus' presence with us as we sleep)

Try praying as you walk
  • Praise for God's creation
  • Thanks for your health
  • Peace to those you meet
and lots more ......
