Prayer is hard. We'd rather be doing something else. Anything really. But God commands us to pray. And to do so continually. We see examples of people praying for a wide range of things in the Bible. Jesus taught his disciples to pray, and that model prayer can become the basis of our prayers too. We need to pray deeper, more fervent prayers. Or, as the Puritans used to say, we need to 'pray until we pray'. We should see prayer as a privilege, not a duty, and certainly not a burden. This 30-day undated devotional offers timeless wisdom and encouragement from Michael Baughen, Alistair Begg, Raymond Brown, David Coffey, Jonathan Lamb, Paul Mallard, Bruce Milne, Calisto Odede and Rico Tice. They focus on sections of Nehemiah, Habakkuk, the Psalms, Daniel, Like, John, Ephesians, Philippians, Thessalonians and James. You will be enthused as you receive fresh insights each day and allow your prayer life to be transformed.

Do you ever feel as if, despite your spirituality and faith, something significant is missing? Most teenagers and college students, as well as tens of millions of adults, are still striving to figure out the purpose and meaning of their lives.

The natural struggle for faith in something intangible can be compounded by incorrect teachings and contradictory explanations of the workings of God in our lives. How does "free will" really work? What does it mean to ask for God's will? When things happen in life, how do you really know whether that is God's will? Is there really any point in praying for His will if we can't influence it?

These haunting personal questions became the genesis of "PUSH" as Matthesius sought answers. Now, he unpacks the powerful biblical truths he learned--the result of deep revelation from discovering God and constantly seeking to know him with all his heart.

"PUSH" is about helping you discover God's dream for your life so you become the blessing you were meant to be. It is about helping you truly embrace the power of prayer and understand what that means instead of simply treating it as a platitude you offer when someone is struggling. This book will instill confidence and promote vision. "PUSH" will stir you to take action, to remain vigilant, and "Pray Until Something Happens."

We don't question our desire to be open with our close friends about our feelings, even if those feelings are difficult to express. We recognize that being honest with our loved ones will only deepen our bonds and help us feel peace in being able to express our innermost thoughts. Why then is it so challenging for us to come as we are, however we are, when approaching God in prayer? In "Praying the Truth: Deepening Your Friendship with God through Honest Prayer," William A. Barry, SJ, helps us deepen our friendship with God by examining how to approach God, at any time and with any problem, in complete honesty. Fr. Barry reflects on how secrecy can hurt families, the Church, and ourselves and how what we are keeping secret can get in the way of our connection with God. He acknowledges that we may fear God's reaction when revealing our most intimate truths; but just like with friendships, we risk not developing our relationship with God if we are dishonest about who we are and how we feel. "Praying the Truth "helps us realize that if we do not approach God in complete honesty, we may be holding back a part of ourselves that needs to be healed. By learning how to communicate honestly with God, our friendship with God and our faith in God's promise to love us unconditionally will be strengthened.
"Thanks to Praying the Truth," I am beginning to understand that prayer is simply hanging out with God As I read this book, I felt as if the author seemed to be sitting beside me, just talking to me as I read."
