    Communion with God

    Cultivate communion with God through prayer and Scripture meditation, the heart of the Christian life.

    "Blessed is the man whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. - Psalm 1:1-2"
    — Bible Study Guide

    Prayer is the heartbeat of the Christian life - our direct communion with God. Biblical meditation is the practice of slowly, prayerfully engaging Scripture, letting it shape our minds and hearts. Together, prayer and meditation form the core of personal devotion and spiritual growth.

    We pray to the Father, through the Son, by the Spirit. Jesus opens the way and teaches us to pray. Scripture shapes our prayers, giving us words when we lack them.

    In this topic, you'll develop a deeper prayer life and learn to meditate on God's Word.

    Meditation means slow, repeated, prayerful engagement.
