Welcome to the Daily Living for Christ podcast. In this powerful episode, we introduce the ancient yet deeply relevant practice of Centering Prayer—a silent, contemplative form of prayer that opens the soul to God’s presence and action within.

Rooted in the early Christian contemplative tradition and reintroduced to the Western Church in the late 20th century, Centering Prayer is not a technique to achieve something from God, but a sacred way of consenting to His love, transformation, and divine will. Donald guides us through the biblical foundation of this practice, drawing from Matthew 6:6 and John 15:1-5, showing how Jesus invited us to a secret, abiding relationship with the Father through stillness and surrender.

In this episode, you’ll explore:
✅ The origins and purpose of Centering Prayer in Christian tradition
✅ The four core elements of the practice: Intention, Sacred word, Consent, and Humility
✅ How silent prayer aligns with the call to “be still and know” God
✅ The connection between kenosis (self-emptying) and spiritual growth
✅ Practical guidance for starting Centering Prayer—including choosing a sacred word and managing distractions

Whether you are just beginning your contemplative journey or looking to go deeper in your prayer life, this episode will inspire you to create space for stillness, abide in God's love, and experience the fruitfulness that comes from spiritual attentiveness.
