The disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray. Prayer is not natural for us. At least not real, biblical prayer. Complaints and wish lists and pouring our hearts out is natural, but is that all prayer is?God gave us not only instruction on how to pray, but even gave us an entire book of prayer in the Psalms. In this sermon, we explore what meditation is, how it is different from both bible study as well as prayer, and seems to be more of a middle ground, and an important element to have deep and dynamic communion and prayer with the Lord.
