A podcast for deep prayer and meditation.
Revelation 8:3-4
”And another angel who had a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and a large amount of incense was given to him, in order that he could offer the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that is before the throne.
And the smoke of the incense went up before God with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel.

My mind can wander during prayer. Eric's calming voice keeps my prayer centered while also allowing me to carry on my own conversation with God. He is a blessing at times when my mind interferes with rest and at other times a companion on my walks.

The Lord has spoken to me through these meditations, often on topics that I have been struggling with and needed the direction of scripture. Incense - Pray Through Life leads the listener into moments of prayer and contemplation that give space for both reflection and the Holy Spirit to speak through God's word. I listen to these podcasts on the way to work in my car and on bike rides at night when I have time alone to listen to God's voice. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to draw closer to God, seeks spiritual direction, or struggles to focus in prayer with all the distractions of modern life (like me).

Having someone help give a clear focus to my prayers has been an incredible blessing, and has really helped me fix my gaze to Jesus when I pray. I feel like that is what is needed by the church at large today, faithful followers, friends, brothers (like Eric) and sisters in faith helping point each other to Jesus in every area of our life together. Oh, how different our churches, marriages, businesses, homes, relationships would look if we actually sat before the throne together and allowed our prayers to be shaped into what God refers to as treasured incense.

Praying "The Deer's Cry" prayer, attributed to St. Patrick in 433.
(Also referred to as "The Breastplate Prayer.")
A prayer and mediation on Psalm 18. What if we place infinite value on these things we read and pray — the Word, and the God of the Word? With such a perspective, the gravity and fullness of God, as well as His deliverance, becomes nearly unbearable in its brightness and glory. He alone is our fortress, shield, and deliverer ...from all things.
A meditation on the three most important days in history, for all creation and for every person, ever born. It is the hidden wisdom of God in a mystery which none of the rulers of that age knew — for if had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord glory. When we proclaim "He is risen!," let us perceive the majesty of the cosmic King and the full weight of glory he carries as the conqueror of all things, including death itself. He, alone, is the Resurrection and the Life.
A meditation on the long held Passover feast. There is prophecy to behold both in the event and in the practice so carefully held by the Israelites, year after year ...for generations. Jesus is the our Passover Lamb — for all of us. He is the Lamb that is worthy to praised throughout eternity.
A prayer and meditation with the Psalmist on integrity. Integrity is a dusty old word and perhaps we've gone so far in our culture it may be seen by some as a meaningless virtue, tossed to the bin with humility, temperance, chastity, etc. Integrity still remains something we can choose, or will, to have.
A prayer and meditation, rippling outward, leaning upon the truth of Psalm 61. We perform our priestly duties, interceding on other's behalf as Christ intercedes for us, in heaven, on our behalf. Calling from the ends of the earth to the Living God, may those in our home, our neighborhood, and unto the very edges of His kingdom receive his light, mercy, and truth.
A meditation on being thankful, coming into a right understanding of God, and restoring a correct relationship with Him, even in difficult times. We are often so inward looking or prone to being a victim of circumstance that we find ourselves far off course or wandering in our faith journey. In sitting under God's interrogation of Job and revealing "things too wonderful for me," we can begin to look up and out and the Almighty and be lifted out of any circumstance — we can respond as Job does saying "By the ear's hearing I heard of you, but now my eye has seen you." Let us exalt Him.
A meditation and prayer positioning ourselves in a stance against the iniquity of pornography. We cannot turn from this wickedness, shove it aside as if it is nothing, or pretend that it's darkness hasn't infected nearly all of life like a cancer. We must stand against and intercede with our God to eradicate this spirit and the evil emanating from it. So many are lost, addicted, deceived, trafficked, and the ramifications should break our hearts to weeping.
