Ep. 531 - Why Prayer and Godly Meditation Should Be Top Priority for Every Christian - Rick Hamlin

There can be heartfelt praise even in the quietest moments. This is a lesson that Rick Hamlin, an author and longtime editor at Guideposts Magazine, explains in detail. He shares why prayer and godly meditation need to be a top priority in the lives of Christians. He also breaks down how to find a “prayer place that works for you,” so that you can get quiet and connect with God consistently. Rick encourages everyone to give prayer a try. “When you learn, you grow,” he says. Rick gently urges Christians to invite God to be part of their day by starting their morning with a special moment of prayer and connection with their Creator.
