Learn how to cultivate a deeper union with God through intentional, multifaceted prayer in this practical, accessible guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.

In the hurry, distraction, and noise of the modern world, few things are more difficult or more rewarding than developing a life of prayer. As an apprentice of Jesus, it is vital to set aside time to be more deeply connected with the Father.

Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, the Prayer Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, guided readings, and additional resources to help you and your community.

This guide will equip you to:

- Develop a daily rhythm of prayer using both liturgical and personal approaches
- Engage in various forms of prayer, including gratitude, lament, and intercession
- Listen to God's voice through practices like Lectio Divina
- Move beyond words to experience contemplative union with God

Discover how dedicating intentional time to communicate and commune with God can lead to a transformed life, deeper spiritual growth, and a renewed sense of partnership with God in the world.

Part of a series of nine core practices that together build a Rule of Life for following Jesus in the modern world, each guide can be read individually or together in any order:
The Sabbath Practice
The Prayer Practice
The Fasting Practice
The Solitude Practice
The Generosity Practice
The Scripture Practice

Practicing the Way is a nonprofit that creates spiritual formation resources for churches and small groups learning how to become apprentices of the Way of Jesus. We believe one of the greatest needs of our time is for people to discover how to become lifelong disciples of Jesus. To that end, we help people learn how to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did through the practices and rhythms he and his earliest followers lived by.
