If you want a deeper relationship with the Lord, Contemplative Prayer is a great avenue. My practice for the past nine years basically boils down to sitting in silence for 20 minutes twice a day (called Centering Prayer) and meditating on Scripture (called Lectio Divina or Divine Reading). I can’t even imagine life without this resting in the Lord. My son Chris, when he was young and in big trouble, would nonchalantly say: “Mom, why don’t you go do that prayer for awhile so we can talk?” He knew innately that the prayer...

We were expecting to find that God was mad at us and waiting to...
