Contemplative Prayer – Extracts from Coming to God in the stillness by Jim Borst

Coming to God in the stillness by Jim Borst is probably one of the most influential and formative books in my own walk with God and exploration of contemplative prayer.  For hours I have sat and waited on God using this short guide to lead me into the presence of Jesus.  Many sweet hours of fellowship and many agonised hours in prayer.

Extracts from the book are shown below - these show the core twelve steps for contemplative prayer.  Take your time.  Take even an hour sitting with one of the steps.  Praying that you are blessed and encouraged.
