Prayer
“Hence monastic prayer, especially meditation and contemplative prayer, is not so much a way to find God as a way of resting in him whom we have found, who loves us, who is near to us, who comes to us to draw us to himself.”
― Thomas Merton, Contemplative Prayer

Contemplative Prayer
I have had a profound and transformative experience through my contemplative prayer journey. The idea of deepening my relationship with Jesus and finding a sense of rest and peace in His love drew me to contemplative practices.
Contemplative prayer involves stillness, silence, and an openness to the presence of the God. It's not just about seeking answers or guidance but also about cultivating a profound awareness of His presence in daily life and resting in that awareness.
Resting in His love has enabled me to engage in daily tasks and Kingdom work with less stress and striving (most of the time!).
The stillness and peace found in contemplation can become a source of strength and guidance in the midst of life's challenges.
