A simple Bible verse gives us an extraordinary blueprint of contemplation that grows richer the longer we think about it. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.”

Spiritual direction is a new concept for many people. Let’s dive into it.

“What does your prayer practice look like?” is a question I ask every new spiritual directee or person seeking to go deeper in their relationship with God. I lead with this question because it gives me clues into the single most valuable habit pattern a person can develop if their goal is a richer relationship with God. It’s also the question that is met with the most confusion.

If someone had suggested to me, in my early adult years, that I didn’t really understand prayer, I would have rolled my eyes.
