The third movement in holy reading is prayer. God has spoken to us through his Word, we have meditated upon what he said, and now we speak back to God in prayer. This reinforces the concept that prayer is a dialogue. God speaks to us and then we speak to God. The prayer offered to God will be different for each individual. God will address various issues in each person’s life simply because we are at different places and in different seasons of life. Therefore you might thank God for some insight He has given to you, or you might ask God for guidance or to give you a new perspective, or you might seek God’s forgiveness, or you might enter into praise and adoration for who He is and what He has done. Through holy reading one discovers that God’s word speaks powerfully into many different situations, and out of that place we speak back to God in a personal way.
