We typically think of praying as talking with God…and this is not a bad way of thinking about it. But I have found that often lifting wordless prayers can be a great spiritual experience.

The cross is such an important part of the Christian faith. It is our means…and a reminder…that through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross our sins are forgiven and we have new and eternal life. But the cross can also be a mode for our prayer life. In this video I offer a simple prayer guide based on the image of Jesus on the cross.

We are currently in a little series looking at simple, easy to remember, prayer guides. Why? Because these can be great little resources to not only teach someone how to pray but to guide us in our own prayer lives. I use these when I feel like I need something different in my prayer time. This week I share with you the Five Finger Prayer guide.

It seems that everyone is busy these days…and busy schedules is the number reason I hear people give for a lack of prayer. In this video I want to introduce you to “Flash Prayers”…not necessarily as a substitute for dedicated times of prayer, but as a way of enhancing your regular prayer time and fitting more prayer into your already busy schedule.

As we strive to take scripture seriously and to obey it, have you ever thought about how we are to “pray without ceasing”? This week’s Two-Minute Tuesdays Together video takes a look at how John Calvin suggested we structure our prayer life so we can live into this important scripture command.
