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.

This Companion Guide to the Prayer Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings to lead you into a richer experience of prayer. Featuring four engaging video sessions, the Prayer Practice is designed to be run with your community and is available online for free.

This guide will help you:

  • 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.
