FACES OF GOD: The Psychology of Prayer
FACES OF GOD: The Psychology of Prayer
Prayer is never only about the words we say to God. It also reveals something of the God we imagine, fear, trust, resist, seek, and love. This online weekend retreat-workshop invites participants to explore the psychological and spiritual dimensions of prayer by becoming more attentive to the different “faces” of God that emerge in our inner life. Through guided reflection, prayer, and personal exploration, participants will notice how life experiences, relationships, desires, wounds, expectations, and images of authority can shape the way they encounter God.The retreat offers a contemplative space to recognize which images of God deepen freedom,
trust, and intimacy, and which may have become narrow, distorted, or no longer life-giving. Rather than trying to arrive at a single image of God, participants are invited to allow their understanding of God to deepen and expand through an honest encounter with their own interior world.FACES OF GOD may be taken as part of the full Spiritual
Formation Program or as a stand-alone online retreat for anyone who desires to deepen their prayer and discover the many ways God may be revealing God’s self within the movements of their life.
