Mental prayer…Is that like when I am quietly reading a book?

Adoration…Obviously adoration in church but can it be done at home too?

Conversation…Is that like me chatting away to Jesus like I would to a human sitting in front of me?

Mental prayer… you mean in the form of contemplation and meditation? This is where we focus our thoughts on God… it can be like quietly reading a book… it’s thinking about Scriptural truths and what he’s teaching us and to consider how we’re acting upon it, as well as thinking about who God is and just sort of letting our thoughts dwell there.

Yes, adoration can be done at home… I guess this is really about recognising and humbly submitting to God and doing his will. Ultimately it’s praising God, too.

Conversation… like petitioning Him? Ask and it shall be given you. Primarily that’s the Lord’s Prayer which pretty much covers all of our needs as he already knows everything we need. Of course our minds and petitions wander, and that’s all good, too. Random chatter probably has its place as well. When something’s on our mind or troubling us, we should trust in God to help us …and, ‘let Thy will be done!’
