Just as babies slowly learn to communicate in more and more complex
ways, so the new believer should move from simply crying out to God
to a developed prayer life. The basic elements of prayer found in
the Lord's Prayer are a helpful guide to Christians hoping to
enrich their prayers. In "On Earth as It Is in Heaven," beloved
teacher and writer Warren W. Wiersbe explains and applies the
elements of the Lord's Prayer to everyday prayer so readers get
excited about maturing in their personal prayer ministries. Any
reader wanting to experience a more satisfying and effective prayer
life will cherish this thoughtful book.
Many of us are aware of our spiritual nature, and we have a real
desire and need to talk to God. Prayer, however, seems a difficult
thing to do. While talking to our friends comes easily, we often
think that talking to God does not. In How to Pray, John Pritchard
takes us on a journey into prayer. He begins by showing us how to
see the divine in everyday life and how to slow down enough to hear
God. He makes a wealth of useful suggestions about: * how to pray *
when to pray * how to pray with the Bible * how to pray with the
imagination * how to pray with others * how to pray when the going
gets tough. Whether you are just starting out in your prayer life
or want to deepen and refresh it, this practical handbook will be a
constant source of ideas and inspiration.

The Weapons under Your Pillow (prayer, sleep) * The Junk under Your
Bed (fear, unforgiveness) * The Morning After (interpreting your
dreams) Where there is no sleep, there are no dreams; where there

Exploring the unity of the practice of prayer and the practice of
theology, this book draws together insights from world-class
theologians including Rowan Williams, Andrew Louth, Frances Young,
Margaret R. Miles, Sebastian Brock, and Nicholai Sakharov. Offering
glimpses of the prayer-life and witness that undergirds theological
endeavour, some authors approach the topic in a deeply personal way
while others express the unity of prayer and the theologian in a
traditionally scholarly manner. No matter what the denomination of
the Christian theologian - Greek or Russian Orthodox, Roman
Catholic, Anglican, Methodist - authors demonstrate that the
discipline of theology cannot properly be practiced apart from the
prayer life of the theologian. The prayer of the theologian shapes
her or his approach to theology. Whether it be preaching, teaching,
writing or research, the deep soundings of prayer inform and
embrace all.
What do you pray when times get tough? When you're stressed or
depressed, when life is overwhelming or disappointing, when you
feel like giving up? In these challenging times you need to pray
with wild hope, says Jackie M. Johnson. With encouraging stories,
Scriptures, and prayers, Johnson shows readers how to pray for
focus, wisdom, confidence, courage, grace, strength, meaning, and
much more. Conveniently structured so that readers can go directly
to the chapter that addresses their particular situation, this book
will be a lifeline to peace for those who need God's touch.
Prayer ministry offers us the opportunity to participate in the
Holy Spirit's healing work. Jeannie Morgan draws on her wide
experience to offer advice on getting started in prayer ministry,
ministering healing from past hurts, and pastoral prayer ministry
(over four to six sessions). With spiritual tools, Scriptures, and
vivid stories and illustrations of healing, she prepares us to
follow the Holy Spirit's prompting. Highly practical, she also
addresses many tricky questions. The book includes guidance notes
for leaders and special resources for those receiving extended
prayer ministry.
R. T. will be in the UK from late January 2016 for 6 months, in
association with Kensington Temple
Logos Bookstore Association Award for Christian Living One of the
most basic and vital dimensions of the Christian life is the
practice of prayer. Frequently our prayers begin with a petition or
request, so the content of our prayers is informed by our
circumstances. But what if the opposite were true? What if we
allowed our prayers to inform our lives? What would our lives be
like if prayer altered our living and began to shape the contours
and content of our daily experiences? Gordon Smith invites us to
learn three movements of prayer-thanksgiving, confession, and
discernment-in order to be formed and transformed by prayers that
seek God's kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven." Whether you are a
beginner in the life of prayer or further along, this small book is
a resource for deepening your prayer practice.
You live a busy life, juggling work, family, chores, and more. Into
this busy life come challenges--difficult relationships, health
concerns, deferred dreams, loss--and blessings--a new job, a new
baby, new friends, new hobbies. And all of it is something you can
pray about. But maybe you're not sure how. Beautifully designed and
perfect for gift-giving, 100 Days of Prayer for Women is a
collection of go-to prayers for when you want to say something to
God but you're not sure just what words to use. Covering the
challenging, the joyful, and even the mundane aspects of life,
these prayers help you express yearning, praise, lament, and
gratitude to the One who made you, sustains you, and loves you
through it all. If you need encouragement and inspiration each day,
look no further!
Two common questions generally rise to the surface for those
seeking healing: Is it God's will to heal? And is it God's will to
heal me? From his personal story of suffering with coronary artery
disease, to the loss of his sister to cancer, and his daughter's
diagnosis of arthritis at a young age, Pastor Glen Berteau
approaches these life-altering events with firsthand insight and
revelation. He explains how, even in the most challenging
circumstances, God can turn the worst into the best and use it all
for our good. By countering seventeen hindrances to prayer for
healing, Pastor Berteau breaks through possible misunderstanding
regarding God's good intentions for his children. This book can
initiate in your heart the faith that moves mountains--why settle
for anything less?
Throughout the Bible, we read stories of individuals praying
desperate prayers--and receiving miracle answers. This leaves us
with a question: What does it take to push through--to break the
miracle barrier? In this powerful new release, apostolic leader
Jennifer LeClaire reveals a surprising key to obtaining
breakthrough, veiled in the prayer lives of people crying
desperately to see godly desires manifested, loved ones delivered,
and enemies defeated. She teaches believers how to cry out to God,
and how to sustain the desperate kind of faith undaunted by
obstacles, opposition, and odds--prayer in faith that breaks the
miracle barrier.
When you pray but don't see an answer, you can be tempted to think

Prayer is not a practice or a ritual. It is a place.
A secret place in the Spirit. A place of divine encounters with our heavenly Father where we express our love for Him and enter the dimensions of His glory and power. Where we welcome His presence, receive His revelation and guidance for our life, and are empowered to serve His purposes on earth while experiencing the outpouring of His grace through miracles, healings, deliverances, and salvations. With a scriptural foundation, the conviction of personal experience, and the evidence of many testimonies, Guillermo Maldonado passionately reveals how to enter this place in the Spirit so we, as the body of Christ, can become “a house of prayer.” Discover the joy of two-way communication with the Father. Learn not only to hear His voice but to listen and act on what He is saying to you. See how to build momentum in your prayer life, creating a spiritual atmosphere in which God moves powerfully on behalf of His people. Discover essential keys for breakthrough--and how to have all your prayers answered according to God's will and Word. There has never been a more vital time to find our place in prayer. We are in a period of increased opposition from the enemy as we draw closer to the day of Christ’s return. This requires us to attain a higher level of spiritual power and authority, which can only come through breakthrough prayer that ushers us into God’s presence. Nothing else will prepare us to meet the challenges that are coming our way. Nothing else will prepare us for the second coming of Christ. Now is the time to be spiritually vigilant! Now is the time to watch and pray!
Transform Your Prayer Life in 55 Days. For far too many believers,
prayer is a fruitless, frustrating, joyless exercise. They know

the full implications of Jesus' finished work on the cross, - lead
you to a deep revelation of God's goodness and faithfulness, -
ground your identity in who God says you are, and - model a form of
praying that proclaims rather than pleads, making you a true
partner with God. Get ready to discover how to pray from victory
rather than struggle for victory. Take hold of the power of Praying
Grace.

Grow in your relationship with God as you reflect on His many names
while reading and writing your way through this beautiful 40-day
devotional.
From Alpha to Omega, El Shaddai to Prince of Peace, the many names of
God highlight His attributes. All the Glorious Names is a 40-day
devotional experience that explores who God is through the meanings of
His names. Each of the daily devotionals in this book includes:
- A unique name of God found in the Bible
- The Scripture passage in which the name of God is found
- Meditations on the meaning and message behind each name
- A closing prayer
- Journaling prompts and lined journaling space
- The book also features a listing of every one of the names
of God and where they are found in the Bible, allowing you to dive
deeper into the Biblical contexts of each. It makes a great gift for a
mother, sister, daughter, or wife, and can be used as a group Bible
study curriculum for small groups.
All the Glorious Names is an invitation to worship and be full of
wonder that God has said “I have called you by name, you are mine”
(Isaiah 43:1 RSV)
One of the most wonderful things about walking with God is that we can have an intimate and real relationship with him. He wants us to know him so well that we are comfortable talking to him about anything and everything. Yet, there are times when we feel disconnected and insecure. We desire to grow in prayer, but we don't know where to begin, what to say, or how to listen for his voice.
In She Prays, Debbie Lindell invites you on a 31-day journey to experience a confident and conversational relationship with your heavenly Father. She shows you how to replace the pressure to perform in prayer with a faith-filled expectation--trusting that God is delighted with every conversation and every word we whisper to him. Her desire is that your soul will be transformed as your confidence in prayer grows, and that your faith will be strengthened as you see God work through your prayers in ways you never imagined possible.
