Prayer doesn’t begin with speaking but with listening. Most of us, though, were taught a way of prayer that’s more monologue than dialogue and live in a hurried world that makes stillness nearly impossible. So how do we quiet our lives and tune our ears to God? And what happens when we do?

Tyler Staton is the Lead Pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, and the National Director of 24-7 Prayer USA. He is passionate about pursuing prayer—communion and conversation with God—while living deeply, poetically, wildly, and freely in the honest and gritty realities of day-to-day life.

    As someone who is both peaceful and always in motion, sitting still is so very hard for. So.much so that it almost rises to a level of suffering (as strange as that is) So the thoughts expressed here really minister to me, that im not alone in my restlessness and quest for stillness before God. Thank you!!

    I've always felt like I've had to talk and talk when praying. Learning to be silent is hard for me. Shaking off "religion " and getting into a real relationship with Jesus is difficult at times, for me. This study has been eye opening for me.

    Were getting into some tricky territory here with the soul and spirit of the man. There is a very fine line that exists between the soul and spirit. The Word of God is a two edged sword that is able to discern between the soul and the spirit. That is why we so desperately need the Word of God to rightly discern and feed our spirit more than our emotions. Emotions are fickle and fleeting, but God’s Word is stable and forever. Better to elevate God’s Word above our emotions and focus more on the scriptures than our own contemplative experiences.

    If there are ever two modern day heroes of the faith that I look up to in this generation, it’s both of you men. Your words and wisdom have significantly shaped my walk with the Lord and helped to rekindle thankfully my relationship to prayer. Thank you!
