Some of you have asked about the doctoral program I’m completing. The focus of the program is formational prayer. This is a paper (12 pages or so) where I discuss 3 components of formational prayer. It’s not a strict academic piece so it is reflective and may give insight into the program for those of you that asked.

Feeling vs. Acting on intense emotions
Chris, read your paper. Kinda fast cause of the length and my impatience.
Hope all is well with you and the family and your church.
God Bless and may you have a very merry Christmas.

Thanks Ted
All is “one step at a time” as they say
Merry Christmas
Chris,after reading your paper I wonder what is the difference between ‘formational prayer’ and ‘intercessory prayer’? I agree with understanding the wounding of the person for the greatest transformation to occur. Just some thoughts before turning in….
I think the difference could best be described this was: Intercessory prayer is you carrying the emotion from the need for that person whether they know it or not as you pray. Formational prayer is about assisting them to position themselves in the presence of Jesus. Both have their place though.
