Prayer Practicum 1
We will purpose to be quiet before the Lord in
order to enter into an intimate relationship with
him, hear from him, and speak to him concerning
our lives and our ministry.
Centering prayer (contemplative prayer) is for
those who want more--- infinitely more. It is for
those who dare to believe that they are made to
be intimate with God and the bearers of his life
and love in this world. It is for those who truly
love themselves, love themselves enough to put
first things first to give God this time, to
give themselves this time in God, so that they
can give to others quality time that is loving
and creative. -Basil Pennington
Contemplative Prayer is not a way of being busy
with God instead of with people, but it is an
attitude in which we recognize Gods ultimate
priority by being useless in His presence, by
allowing Him to enter into our emptiness. In this
prayer, God can show us His love. When we are
empty, free and open, we can be with Him, look at
Him, listen to Him, and slowly come to realize
that He is a loving Father who loves us with a
deep intimate affection. It is to know God by
heart, rather than by head
59
In silence we leave behind our activities,
concerns, plans, projects, opinions and
convictions, and enter into the presence of our
loving God, naked, vulnerable, open and
receptive. It is emptying ourselves of outside
forces and influences, inner fears and
distractions The first thing we often discover
in silence is our restlessness, our driven ness
and compulsiveness, our urge to act quickly, to
make and impact and to have influence, and often
we find it hard to withstand the temptation to
return as quickly as possible to the world of
relevance. But when we persevere with the help of
a gentle discipline, we slowly come to hear the
still small voice and to sense the gentle breeze
of the Spirit. -Henri Nouwen

HINDRANCES TO A SUCCESSFUL PRAYER LIFE

• The Spiritual Index
• Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask
  bread, will he give him a stone?
• Matthew 79

The illustration of prayer that Our Lord uses
here is that of a good child asking for a good
thing. We talk about prayer as if God heard us
irrespective of the fact of our relationship to
Him (cf. Matthew 545). Never say it is not Gods
will to give you what you ask, dont sit down and
faint, but find out the reason, turn up the
index. Are you rightly related to your wife, to
your husband, to your children, to your
fellow-studentsare you a good child there? O
Lord, I have been irritable and cross, but I do
want spiritual blessing. You cannot have it, you
will have to do without until you come into the
attitude of a good child. We mistake defiance for
devotion arguing with God for abandonment. We
will not look at the index. Have I been asking
God to give me money for something I want when
there is something I have not paid for? Have I
been asking God for liberty while I am
withholding it from someone that belongs to me? I
have not forgiven someone his trespasses I have
not been kind to him I have not been living as
Gods child among my relatives and friends
(v.12). I am a child of God only by regeneration,
and as a child of God I am good only as I walk in
the light. Prayer with most of us is turned into
pious platitude, it is a matter of emotion,
mystical communion with God. Spiritually we are
all good at producing fogs. If we turn up the
index, we will see very clearly what is
wrongthat friendship, that debt, that temper of
mind. It is no use praying unless we are living
as children of God. Then, Jesus saysEveryone
that asketh receiveth. Oswald Chambers
