Our prayer life is one that thrives on a combination of stability and creativity. We find things along the way that work. Some times they work for a season. Sometimes for the long haul. Periodically, I will post creative ways to connect with God that have the potential to enrich your prayer time and time with God. These posts will include things that work on both a personal level and a communal level. I invite you to Delve Deeper and open yourself to be receptive to a myriad of ways to connect with God. May we find creative ways to nurture the intimate and organic connection we have with God.
