Prayer is talking to God and also listening to Him speak to you. It is communication. What we have been learning in our Sunday School class is to deepen our communication with our Lord by meditation on scripture. Take one scripture and read it, speak it, write it, sing it, pray it, then listen to what God says back and write down what you hear. We have been meditating on the Songs of Solomon the past few weeks. It has been absolutely incredible what God has been speaking to me and the others in class. Try it and see what happens! I think you will see your prayer time become more exciting. :-) | ||||||

Bows44, greetings. What you are talking about is part of the Bible study. Make sure you look at the context, not just a portion. But, in prayer, you still need to follow a pattern. |

Actually,this is not a Bible study. It is a relationship building tool to grow in intimacy with our Lord and Savior. And it isn't a "in context" kind of thing. It is listening to God speak to you sometimes on just one word or phrase. Its about having a conversation with God. The pattern is read it, write it, speak it, sing it, pray it, then listen and write what you hear. Then you submit it to your leadership and/or mentors to make sure you are hearing God. For eaxample: Song of Solomon 1:1 Msg says, The Song--best of all songs--Solomon's song! I asked God, "Why is it the best song, song of songs?" He said (in part, I actually got a page and a half on just this one short verse), "It is the best song because it is a song of intimacy. I am calling my bride, individually and corporately to a greater, deeper intimacy with me." Think of it this way...Suppose you wrote your spouse a letter while out of town on a trip. What would you prefer they do after reading it... study it or discuss it with you? The Bible is a love letter from God. He much prefers that we come to him and discuss it with him on a one-to-one basis to an esoteric study of it using dictionaries and commentaries. Now if a person wants that kind of close intimate and personal relationship with God, then this is a way to develop that. Before critizing it, try it. You just might like it. :-) Then out of that close relationship, when you pray you will pray the Father's heart in unity with the Holy spirit and it becomes more exciting and rewarding. |
