This semester’s series, Cultivating Prayer, is designed to help OCF chapters explore what it means to learn how to pray in the midst of college life. Prayer does not come easily or naturally to most of us. It requires patience, honesty, struggle, and time.
This series brings together reflections from the OCF blog archives that speak candidly about distraction, dryness, consistency, communal prayer, and the slow work of spiritual growth.
Use these in your chapter meetings, in small groups, or for personal reflection. Each post includes discussion questions to encourage meaningful and edifying conversation.
