Description: This week Dan and Melissa dissect Melissa's prayer experience with the Parable of the Prodigal Son and apply it to the steps of discovery prayer, focusing on step two - reflection.

Topics/Questions covered in the show:

• Saint Peter cast his net out into the deep when instructed by Jesus and was abundantly blessed. The same is true for our prayer lives. We must have the same faith and trust in God to cast our own nets out into the deep and He will bless us abundantly.
• Step two of discovery prayer is reflecting. What does this mean? What are some examples of this practice?
• Dan guides Melissa through an examination of her own personal prayer experience with the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
• How does reflection aid the faithful in their desire to know and love God?
