On Sunday, the message was about prayer. Part of what we talked about is how some people just don't know where to start. So, I figured it might be helpful to talk about places to start.
One of the best places to start (and continue) your prayer journey is the Upper Room. The Upper Room is, of course, where Jesus and his disciples shared the last supper. The Upper Room is a ministry of the General Board of Discipleship of the United Methodist Church. They provide a giant number of resources to help lead and guide us on our spiritual journeys. They provide everything from daily devotions, to books, they even oversee the Walk to Emmaus and Chrysalis programs.
If you are looking for a place to get started, I highly recommend their Daily Devotional Guide. I know many people who have using this as a guide for years. They come in a book form (both small and large print) and are available at the church. (They are kept on a little table just outside the sanctuary.) The same text is now also available online. You can even subscribe to have it sent to you via e-mail.
If you are looking for a way to get started on or enrich your prayer life, I recommend you check out the daily devotionals and all the other things the Upper Room has to offer.
peace,
will
