About this listen

Do you struggle with your prayer life? Are you distracted or anxious when you pray? Do you not know what to pray for? Do you ever wonder if love and contentment will define your life of prayer, instead of restlessness or worry? If so, keep reading...

Let God and the scriptures assist you in unlocking the emotional and spiritual power of meditative prayer.

Spiritual life involves prayer. Most of us have committed time to prayer at some point in our lives. Many of us achieve spiritual victories in prayer. But prayer is more than a ritual and more than asking God for “something” in a time of crisis. It is a way of loving and being present with God and to others. It can open up a cultivated habit of (i) communing with God and (ii) empathically being present to others.

Each section guides you slowly and in accessible language into the world of meditative prayer. Teaching you that prayer is about a change in perspective and mood, the audiobook focuses on variety of moods and acts: Love, contentment, holding the world lightly, praying for others, and the need for daily repetition.

Thankfully, there is a long tradition of reflection prayer handed down to us from the Bible and other great Christian thinkers like Augustine in the 4th-century. If you want thoughtful reflection on particular scriptural passages, with a focus on relief and reprieve prayer provides you amid the daily bustle of life’s challenges, then this audiobook is for you.

In Love and Contentment: How Prayer and Meditation Can Transform Your Day, you'll discover:

  • How to think of prayer as a form of relationship, restoring, and renewing your desire to “be” with and enjoy God
  • Why prayer can shape how you feel about yourself and the world, bringing to light deep self-worth and self-love that is rooted in God’s love for you
  • In what way prayer can becomes a meditative act of returning to ourselves. As we experience things in life, we continually look towards the wisdom of the architect of it all, who can help us to understand the world and ourselves from a much bigger perspective than our own. Prayer can be a practice that helps us to evaluate the course of our life against the plans that God reveals to us in our time of communion with God
  • How to avoid the most common mistake many make with regard to prayer: The reduction of prayer to a mere mindless ritual
  • Why making prayer a daily routine of “relationship with God” and thus an interpersonal habit can establish a firm feeling of contentment about life in general
  • Why prayer should make others a central focus: Praying for others generates in us a deeper love for others in light of God
  • And much more...

If you have always wanted a richer and more vibrant prayer life or if you are wondering what the mental health benefits of prayer can be, then begin with the first section on the restless heart God has given us for communion with God. Renewal, contentment, love, and service to others all result from the meditative delight of prayer.
