Welcome to the prayer course | Session 7 “Listening”
We’re on week 7 of the Prayer Course! We hope that you and your group are growing deeper in your individual and group prayer lives.
As we get ready for Session 7, here are Pete’s main points from Session 6:
Contemplative prayer is silent enjoyment of God’s loving presence.
The contemplation journey has 3 stages:
Meditation: “Me and God”
Contemplation: “God and me”
Communion: “only God”
In Session 7 we’ll unpack the practical ways we can tune into hearing God’s voice.

For those who are also reading Pete Greig’s book How to Pray: A Simple Guide for Normal People, please read chapter 9 (Listening) before Session 7’s discussion. Reading the book is not required to get a lot out of this course. Check with your small group leaders to determine what your group will be doing.
