Prayer is one of the most powerful, life-changing things we will
ever do, and yet we often struggle. It's hard to find the time.
It's repetitive, we get distracted and sometimes even bored. And
the answers often feel few and far between. In this companion study
guide to Praying Women, bestselling author Sheila Walsh shares
practical helps directly from God's Word, showing you how to know
what to say, how to pray as a joy-filled warrior, and how to let go
of the past and stand on God's promises for you now.
It's easy to pray for others' needs. If God takes a long time in
answering--or answers with a no--it's easier to take. Far more
difficult is focusing on your own needs, when sometimes you don't
get the answers you want. What do you pray when life gets hard or
even unbearable? When you lose a spouse or a child? When your
health deteriorates? When your spiritual life seems barren? Linda
Evans Shepherd knows what it's like to pray in the most dire of
circumstances. She shows readers the how, what, and when of praying
for themselves. As she takes readers through her own prayer journey
and the stories of others, they will be encouraged and equipped to
pray for themselves in any circumstance. They'll also find that
whether or not God changes their circumstances, he will use prayer
to change them.
Freedom and Healing: The Birthright of Every Believer
A shattered self-image, toxic relationships, emotional brokenness,
and a painful past seal us off from the abundant life Jesus
promised if left unchallenged by the power of God. "Born to Be
Free" is for those who are no longer willing to settle for life as
it is, but who desire to walk in the peace and fullness God has
promised - a life transformed by the healing and freedom purchased
by his blood for every follower of Christ.
Don't settle for a life limited by pain and bondage one more day.
In "Born to Be Free" you will discover:
- God's promise of freedom and healing at the heart of the gospel.
- The power and authority given to every believer to overcome the
assaults of the enemy.
- How to experience God in intimate conversation to receive
healing.
- Solid, biblical understanding of the spiritual roots of pain,
failure, and broken relationships.
- How to partner with God through agreement, prayers, and
declarations to secure God's healing and freedom that will
transform your life.
In "Born to Be Free," pastor Tom Vermillion shares principles and
processes for receiving the wholeness and freedom Jesus purchased
on the cross for every believer. The transforming power of Christ,
accessed by these principles and practices, has ministered healing
and freedom to hundreds of believers who were once bound to a
painful past, oppressed by the enemy, and stifled by a broken sense
of self. In "Born to Be Free" you will find a way to claim your
birthright of health and wholeness in Jesus.

Prayer is foundational to the Christian life, but many people
don't really understand it. What is it for? How does it work? Why
do we do it? This short and accessible book explains what prayer
is, why it exists, and how it can encourage us in our life of
faith. Written by a pastor with years of teaching and counseling
experience, Why We Pray doesn't simply tell readers why they should
pray, but instead focuses on four blessing-filled reasons that will
help Christians want to pray. Rather than feeling discouraged and
disheartened by their inconsistency in prayer, readers will feel
reinvigorated to approach God with confidence and joy, delighted by
the privilege of talking directly to their loving heavenly
Father.

understand how God can turn your most traumatic setbacks into
gains. Discover how such setbacks as death, separation, divorce,
sickness, suffering, and financial loss can be used by God to make
you spiritually richer. This book has touched countless readers

God's word can bring. It is 12 chapters making it perfect for a
bible study or Sunday school class.
These minute meditations for every day of the year contain a
Scripture reading, a reflection from the writings of the Saints,
and a prayer.
This book is intended as a supplement to Common Worship Pastoral
Services which provides liturgies for use in ministry to the sick -
distribution of communion, emergency baptism, laying on of hands
and anointing. Many hospital chaplains find their services are
needed in other acute situations and often by people who have no
church connection or knowledge of religious language. Here
chaplains need to improvise. This practical volume draws on the
experience of numerous clergy and chaplains and provides tried and
tested liturgies in accessible language for a wider range of
occasions. Prayers are included for - occasions surrounding birth:
thanksgiving, baby blessing and naming, emergency baptism, prayers
for a stillborn child - healing rites: communion, anointing, laying
on of hands, confession and reconciliation - marriage in hospital,
blessing of a civil union, affirmation of a relationship - prayers
for every stage of a hospital stay - on receiving a diagnosis,
before an operation, when life support is withdrawn - occasions
surrounding the death of infants, children and adults
Why has God not answered my prayers? What should I be praying for?
If everything I prayed for came true, would I be ready? In this
spiritual classic, Eberhard Arnold mines the riches of biblical
teaching on prayer and the example of Jesus, the Hebrew prophets,
and the early Christians to point us back to the prayer that
pleases God most - prayer that has the power to transform our lives
and our world. In a new reflective response, much-loved author
Richard J. Foster relates Arnold's words to our contemporary
reality.

Joyce Rupp opens up the scriptures that teach us how to pray and
applies them to our daily lives. Readers are encouraged to 'pray
always' through an awareness of God. Filled with personal
experiences, examples and life-lessons, 'Prayer' is a spiritual
reading for Christians of all denominations.
Allow God to Do Immeasurably More in Your Life Effective prayer is
more about becoming useful tools in God's hands than imposing our
plans and desires on Him. In Rise to Seek Him, we learn that we
accomplish much more when God uses us through prayer than when we
try to use God to accomplish our objectives. This is not just
another book on prayer. Ron Meyers invites you to experiment for
yourself how God can accomplish "immeasurably more" than you could
ever ask or imagine. This book reveals fresh insights about the
meaning of prayer - insights that were in the Bible all the time.
Rise to Seek Him offers practical solutions to the questions we all
ask: How do we discipline ourselves to pray? How can we know what
to pray for? Why is it difficult to pray? What is the focus of
prayer? Does prayer really "work?" This book testifies to the
expansion in influence, effectiveness, and success possible with
increased personal prayer. As in Habits of Highly Effective
Christians, Meyers again describes self-discipline as a fruit of
the Spirit to increase personal spiritual growth and improvement in
public ministry. God-fearing Christians of any vocation who are
serious about serving God at maximum levels of effectiveness will
benefit from this book.
In Sun Stand Still, Pastor Steven Furtick challenged us to ask God
for the impossible-to live, every day, with the same faith in the
miraculous that we see in the Bible. In this daily, personal guide
Steven leads you deeper into Scripture as you begin to live the
life God created and saved us for. Over the next forty days, you'll
have the opportunity to see what audacious faith can look like in
your own life. Through daily scripture readings and teachings, this
book will give you the chance to change your perspective on prayer.
If you have the ability to ask, God has the ability to act - and
transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. In this devotional,
you will learn daily how to develop your faith, walk in the
confidence of Christ, and dare to believe God for the impossible.
In "Conversation with God," bestselling author Lloyd Ogilvie
shows readers a fresh approach to prayer--one that is as much
listening as speaking. Drawing on years of experiencing God as a
friend, Ogilvie clearly and simply explains the many dimensions of
prayer and then provides a 30-day guide so readers can put into
practice what they're learning.
As they begin to enjoy give-and-take conversation with God as a
part of everyday life, readers will experience the truth that He is
always available...so they need never feel alone or isolated. And
they will find prayer to be more refreshing, profound, and
meaningful than they may ever have imagined possible.
Excellent for group Bible studies or as a personal guide.
Formerly titled "Quiet Moments in Prayer."
What do spiritual gifts have to do with our daily lives?
Spiritual gifts are more than just ancient wisdom to be studied. They
are practical components of our everyday lives.
Famed songwriter and musician John Michael Talbot—an early proponent of
the unified Charismatic and Catholic movement --weaves together prayer,
biblical teaching, songs, and contemplative thought to examine the
gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Chapters focus on:
- Speaking in tongues and its interpretation
- Healing and the divine power of the body, soul, and spirit
- Prophecy and being empowered to show God’s truth
- Miracles and other supernatural interventions
- Discernment and the types of spirits
Written in a personal, compelling tone, Exploring the Gifts of the
Spirit presents ancient wisdom with an accessible, down-to-earth,
practical approach. Talbot skillfully introduces readers to wisdom from
varied saints and Church leaders, biblical studies, theology, and
church history, helping believers moor their spiritual experience to
God’s truth.
