Prayer is the primary way we connect with God. All prayer is transformative, but the most transformative prayer is meditative prayer—not directive prayer, not telling God what to do, not even intercessory prayer but simply basking in His presence. It’s listening to Him and reflecting on His character. Do not confuse meditative prayer with New Age Meditation. It is exactly the opposite. Eastern meditation teaches you to empty yourself. Christian meditation teaches you to fill your mind, spirit, and soul with the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

— Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

Lord transform me I pray for I so quickly assimilate the attitudes, the characteristics, and the philosophies of the world around me. Amen.
