In this episode, Dan Lee, Helen Carr and Robin Dillamore continue their conversation about Practising the Presence of God.

We discuss an article by Henri Nouwen entitled "How to (actually) pray without ceasing" and consider Nouwen's idea that we can convert unceasing thinking into unceasing prayer. We also talk about why this is harder than it sounds, and how the practice of contemplative prayer can help make a difference. Nouwen's article can be found at https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2022/01/24/henri-nouwen-prayer-unceasing-242269/

During our introductions, we mention a worship and prayer organisation called Burn 24-7 UK. Please note that this organisation has since changed its name to Worship 24/7 Network and no longer has any links with Burn 24-7 in the USA.

This is the second in a series of episodes which will be published every two weeks during the final quarter of 2025.

In this episode, Dan Lee, Helen Carr and Robin Dillamore introduce the theme of this series, Practising the Presence of God, as well as briefly introducing Presence House of Worship, the community behind these podcasts.

This is the first in a series of episodes which will be published every two weeks during the last quarter of 2025. In this first episode, we talk about why this theme has become so important to us, and what our own experience has been of seeking to live in a continual awareness of God's presence with us. Two books in particular are referred to - The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence (c.1614-1691), a French Carmelite monk; and Letters by a Modern Mystic by Frank Laubach (1884-1970).

(Please note that, towards the end of this episode, a brief reference is made to the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, and that this conversation was recorded shortly before news of serious allegations began to emerge concerning Mike Bickle, the founder of that ministry.)
