• At first, it may seem impossible to teach to all learning styles. However, as we move into using a mix of media or multimedia, it becomes easier. As we understand learning styles,
it becomes apparent why multimedia appeals to learners and why a mix of media may embody or that a class embodies. A review of the literature shows that a variety of decisions must be made when choosing media that is appropriate to learning style.

How to teach people to pray spontaneous prayers?
![Page 19: The Bishop Convocation on Prayer](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815d7e550346895dcb8bf1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Spontaneous Prayers• Prayer is part of a living friendship with God. Here are some words from
Psalm 42 that illustrate this relationship:-
“By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me- a prayer to the God of my life" (Psalm 42:8, NIV) “
This passage can be translated as "prayer to God is my life". In other words, prayer can be as naturally interwoven in our lives as breathing or eating. Prayer can happen in our thought lives as a reaction to things as the day progresses. These prayers can be very short, spontaneous moments amidst the busyness of life. They can also be turned into spoken prayer, just as we would speak to a friend or loved one.
