I prefer a list and structured approach to prayer, but I emphasize that finding a way to pray that works for the individual is key.
150: Prayerfulness with Peter Adam

Many people default to a deistic understanding, believing God set everything up and left us to carry on, rather than seeing Him as continuously active in our lives.
150: Prayerfulness with Peter Adam
Q: Can I kick things off by just asking, what do you mean by prayer?
Prayer is part of the communication between God and ourselves; it's our reply to God who speaks to us.
149: Why the Nicene Creed matters with Mark Thompson
Q: What difference does this belief make to our ongoing Christian lives?
It keeps your focus clearly on Jesus, who he is and what he did, rather than turning Christian life into just a system of living.
