There are, perhaps, two ways of getting any human approach to God wrong. The first is to believe that it all depends on me. Unless I pray at the right time, using the correct words and adopting a suitably reverent posture, I will have no chance of entering into God’s presence. The other wrong path is just the opposite: to hold that it is all down to God and there is nothing special that I need to do. The truth of the matter is that prayer at its best, like any good conversation, requires all who participate to play their part. I can trust that God is wanting to do all that it takes to get in touch with me; and there is a range of tools and techniques that I can use to help foster an encounter with God. Some of these tools and techniques are considered in this issue of The Way.
