Jesus said, "Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them" (Matthew 18:20, NRSV).

Lives are formed and transformed in small groups when people meet together to pray, to study, to engage in fellowship, or to work on a specific task.

Covenant Discipleship Quarterly (Summer 2008)
  A rule of life is a pattern of spiritual disciplines that provides structure and direction for growth in holiness.… A rule of life is not meant to be restrictive, although it certainly asks for genuine commitment. It is meant to help us establish a rhythm of daily living, a basic order within which new freedoms can grow. A rule of life, like a trellis, curbs our tendency to wander and supports our frail efforts to grow spiritually.

Changed from Glory into Glory: Wesleyan Prayer for Transformation
  By Paul W. Chilcote

It's not enough to pray.
To fully experience the transformation, restoration, and renewal available through Christ (or as the beloved hymn says, "changed from glory into glory"), we need to grow in prayer.

"True prayer moves us to act, and it is the root of our being transformed," Chilcote writes. "The way of Jesus is not a detached glory but a glory relevant. Prayer creates intimacy with God and reveals to us who we really are." Changed from Glory into Glory will carry you on a gospel prayer tour — from the Transfiguration through the Resurrection.
