Prayer Pt. 4- Prayer is Meditation // January 26th, 2025
Teaching overview
This week’s teaching, Riley talked about how the attention span in the culture is so short. Our attention is so valuable there is a large competition for a variety organizations and people to have our attention. In contrast, Psalm 40, we as believers are asked to pay attention to the Lord in prayer and meditaion.
Our prayer for your Community
This week, seek the Lord and wait upon and consider his ways. Meditate on the Word and seek what the Lord has to say to his church through the scriptures.

For further meditation…
Cultivate Patience and Quiet Reflection: Embrace a posture of patient waiting, as the psalmist did, allowing space for God to speak. Set aside regular quiet time to pray, meditate, and reflect on His Word.
Focus on Listening and Remembering God's Faithfulness: Use meditation to focus on listening for God's voice and recalling His past works and answered prayers. This builds faith and reinforces trust in His timing and plans.
Engage in Community and Worship: Strengthen your practice of meditation by sharing insights, praying with others, and joining in worship. Fellowship with others fosters encouragement and a sense of shared growth in faith.
