Beholding Prayer

Today's prayer is an exercise based on the chapter 'Praying the Pain' from Thirsting. It's a way to help us get to the root causes of our disordered feelings and responses to things and to allow the Holy Spirit to heal and meet us there.

The Beholding Prayer Podcast is an experiential podcast designed to help you enter a deeper experience of God.

This series of guided prayer meditations is based on my new book Thirsting: Quenching Our Soul's Deepest Desire, an invitation in learning to drink more deeply of God's presence.

So, find somewhere quiet, pour yourself a coffee, and allow the Spirit to meet you where you are today.

Today's prayer is a guided meditation on the desire of Christ expressed on the cross through his cry, "I thirst" (John 19:28). Of course in these words Jesus expresses his physical need for water, but in these words we also hear something of His deep, psalmic longing to heal and reconcile humanity to Himself. His thirst for us.

So, find somewhere quiet, pour yourself a coffee, and allow the Spirit to meet you where you are today.
