God's Blessings on you Pastor Weedon! Thank you so much for a Biblical perspective on this most ancient prayer. In my devotions and searches I have come across The Jesus Prayer several times. Most recently I found chant versions on You Tube and have been playing them in the background during my Morning Prayer. I was delighted that you incorporated The Jesus Prayer throughout this article. If the article is read with purpose (rather than skimming through it for information) one is not only doing a Bible Study on the prayer but also praying The Jesus Prayer throughout the reading! Thank you for such wonderful insight into the prayer as well as it's Biblical roots. Thank you as well for incorporating The Jesus Prayer into the reading and demonstrating a practical use of the prayer. In Christ, David
