Contemplative prayer

Contemplative prayer abandons petition and intercession for simple presence—resting in silence or wordless attention as a form of intimate communion. Unlike devotional prayer's reach toward the divine, contemplative prayer assumes the possibility of meeting rather than asking, and its practice consistently quiets anxiety in ways explanation cannot.
