Biblical Resources for Prayer
- The Bible offers two primary resources for understanding prayer: The Lord's Prayer and the Psalms.
- The Psalms serve as a divinely inspired prayer book, offering guidance on how to pray.
Meditation Before Prayer
- Interestingly, Psalm 1, the beginning of the prayer book, focuses on meditation, not prayer itself.
- This suggests meditation is a crucial prerequisite for effective prayer.
Two-Way Prayer
- Prayer should be a two-way conversation with God, requiring listening before speaking.
- Meditation facilitates this by allowing us to understand God's word before responding.
