The Power of Contemplative Prayer
Contemplative prayer is a practice that goes beyond speaking or listening to God. It involves gazing at God's beauty and presence, receiving His love and returning it in worship. It is a slow, meditative process that requires stillness and patience. Through contemplative prayer, our brain is rewired to be more compassionate and loving. Distraction, hurry, and inner turmoil are common challenges in this type of prayer, but they can be overcome with dedicated practice and a contemplative lifestyle. Ultimately, contemplative prayer allows us to experience the transforming love of God in our lives.
