Can Contemplative Prayer Be Found In The Bible?

Is Contemplative or Centering Prayer Biblical? Where are these practices rooted? Apprising Ministries highlights the origins...

...One day, about 1700 years ago, two young Christian monks living in the Egyptian desert visited an abba, an elder. They asked him what prayer really means. Abba Isaac then gave them one of the clearest and most powerful explanations of prayer in the whole Christian tradition. He said there are many forms of prayer but that all of them point to the same source and goal: the “Prayer of Fire”. He meant the living prayer of Jesus present in the human heart through the Holy Spirit.

Editor's note: Is this how Jesus taught his disciples how to pray?
