Listening prayer

Children are often taught to reflect quietly at school, so it may not be difficult to share a time of silent listening to God. This session also underlines that prayer involves two-way communication with God. Everyone needs to learn to move beyond just talking to God and presenting requests, to learning to discern his voice and what he has to say to individuals. After all, Jesus spent much time alone with his Father in prayer.
