In this video, we delve into the world of long prayer sessions, defined as prayers lasting over an hour, and provide guidance on how to effectively engage in this spiritually enriching practice. Briar shares personal experiences and benefits gained from engaging in long prayer, with the aim of motivating and inspiring the audience to try it for themselves.

The content is structured around three main stages of long prayer: preparation (Pre Prayer), during the prayer session (Peri Prayer), and reflection after the session (Post Prayer). We offer practical tips and strategies for each stage, emphasizing the importance of proper preparation, focus techniques, and post-prayer reflection.

Additionally, we provide a foreshadowing of bonus content regarding resources that inspired our speaker, a call to action promoting our speaker's newsletter, and a disclaimer before revealing the inspiring resources. The overarching message is that with dedication and the right mindset, engaging in long prayer sessions can become a feasible and spiritually enriching practice.

So, join us on this journey from Preparation to Reflection as we explore awe-inspiring long prayer sessions and discover the profound spiritual benefits that come from dedicating time to connect with a higher power.

This week’s episode is more personal in nature as we discuss our own devotional practices beyond the daily office, focussing specifically on the Jesus Prayer (Matthew) and Gospel-Based Discipleship (a form of lectio divina, Jonathan). Our journey will stretch back in time to Origen in the 200s, and touch on some late antique and medieval monks besides some more modern influences related to their movements, including Anglican Renewal Ministries.
