Thursday, 10 August: In this episode, we'll be exploring the importance of using God's words when we pray. We'll look at Colossians 3:16 and 4:2, where Paul encourages the Colossians to "let the word of Christ dwell in you richly" and "always keep up the habit of praying." We'll also discuss the pre-modern method of engaging the Bible known as lectio divina, which sees the Bible as the living word of God through which he still speaks and communes with us.
We'll learn that when we use God's words in our prayers, we're not just reciting empty phrases. We're inviting God to speak to us through his word and to transform us by his Spirit. We'll also discover that lectio divina is a powerful way to deepen our relationship with God and to experience his presence in our lives.
Join us for this episode as we explore the power of using God's words to fuel our prayers.
Here are some additional thoughts on the passage:
