Discover Prayer as a Supernatural Portal to Spiritual Dimensions!
You cannot make it without God's mercy. Do we just need God's grace in dark and shameful moments? Are prayers for mercy only for those times when we really mess up? Jonathan Parnell says we need God's mercy all the time. In fact, contrary to many church cultures, Parnell shows that asking God for mercy should be as regular as asking God for our daily bread. There's no doubt that David was in a terrible predicament when he first prayed the words of Psalm 51. It was a dark and shameful moment in the Bible, and one so dark and shameful it seldom feels relevant to us today. But David's most desperate prayer is really a prayer for all of us-and not just for our worst moments, but for our every moment. In these pages, you'll discover: how to pray a daily, memorable prayer derived from Psalm 51ahow to practice daily repentance and soul careahow to pursue God and experience his joy in the Christian lifea This is God's mercy, and it's Mercy for Today.

A groundbreaking book from the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary that teaches readers how to participate in the radical, transformative prayer that Jesus taught his first disciples. The Lord's Prayer has been domesticated and tamed, turned into a safe series of comforting words and made familiar by repetition. In reality, writes Dr. Albert Mohler, the Lord's Prayer turns the world upside down, toppling every earthly power and announcing God's reign over all things, in heaven and on earth. The Lord's Prayer is the most powerful prayer in all the Bible, taught by Jesus to his own disciples. This generation of Christians desperately needs to relearn the Lord's Prayer and learn from Christ himself how we are to unleash the power and discipline of prayer.
While there are a variety of coping techniques when it comes to stress--sleep more, eat better, avoid this, seek that out--the true remedy is prayer. In this inspiring book, Linda Evans Shepherd shows readers how to recognize God's continual presence and yield their troubles to the Prince of Peace. Through captivating stories, explorations of fascinating biblical characters, and examples of deeper-than-ever prayers, she brings within readers' grasp the peace that passes understanding. Anyone who is overwhelmed by all of the urgent demands on their time will find in this book a lifeline to true peace.
