Opening to God

Prayer as a Means of Opening to God Prayer is a word that describes relationship... Prayer is sustained less by duty than by a desire to connect and grow in intimacy and communion with the holy Three. Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, The Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, p. 203.

Prayer as a Means of Opening to God Contemplative prayer invites us to cultivate and intentional awareness of God’s presence.

Prayer as a Means of Opening to God Being open and present for others doesn’t happen automatically. It requires intention and desire. If we cannot develop human relationships on the fly, we cannot expect to develop the divine friendship without intent and desire. Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, The Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, p. 47.

Prayer as a Means of Opening to God Contemplation means to wake up to the presence of God in all things. Contemplation invites us to enter in to the moment with a heart alive to whatever might happen. Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, The Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, p. 49.
