Prayer and Devotional Resources

Posted on 7 October, 2008 by Sivin Kit

It’s exciting to see new developments in BLC Online almost everyday. The latest one is our attempt to make the site beyond providing mere information and be more resourceful.

The act of spending time with God, reflecting on what’s going on around us and then re-focusing back on God is what we mean when we say devotions or prayer. It could be a time of quiet reflection, a chat with God, a recited text that celebrates faith, a shared insight, a reading from the Bible and more. These are all ways that one can intentionally and meaningfully deepen one’s personal relationship with God.

As we are all different and each have a unique relationship with God, there is no one-size-fits-all method of devotion that will work for everyone. It would also be true to say that no one method would be suitable all the time. Therefore feel free to experiment until you find the right time of the day, length of time and method that helps you feel connected to God.

Collected here are some ideas as well as resources that can help you get started on your own devotional and prayer life.
