Praise God! Four people attended tonight’s session on prayer. We shared a meal together, watched the video, and discussed our thoughts and questions for almost an hour. We were all on the same page, too, which was a blessing. All of the participants acknowledged the importance of prayer as a “lifeline” to God. And all of us admitted how difficult it is to “pray continually.”
After the session, a few people from the other group joined us and together went out for some drinks.
There is one challenge I will need to be sensitive to: two of our participants are not interested in “deep theological, intellectual discussions”, whereas the other two are. I definitely lean towards the latter, and need to be mindful and respectful of those who have a very simple approach to faith. Jesus said: “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 18:3-4)
