Teach us to Pray Part 2: Our Father

1. Read: Read and reread a passage aloud, slowly and intentionally. What strikes you? What details do you notice?

2: Meditate: Reflect on the reading, and allow the Spirit to connect it to your life. Imagine being present to hear the passage or witness the story. Replay it in your mind's eye. As you experienced the passage, what do you see? What do you notice? What do you feel?

3. Pray: Thank God for His word and His presence with you. Ask the Lord what you need to hear today. Ask Him what He would like to say to you. What do you want to share with God?

4. Contemplate: Sit in silence, and listen. Enjoy the presence of God. Take note of the love of God. Sit in your love of God. What is God teaching you? What is He wanting you to experience with Him?
