Be still. For some, these two simple words a welcome invitation to
slow down. For others, they feel impossible, out of reach in our
increasingly noisy world, or simply just too hard to maintain.
There is another way. In fact, there are many. In this practical,
easy-to-read guide, Brian Heasley explores the multitude of rhythms
of Christian prayer and devotion available to every believer. From
memorising scripture and prayer running to noticing beauty
everywhere, he demonstrates how we don't need to be static for our
hearts to be still, and how even in the midst of a full, busy life,
we can spend quiet time with God. Be Still is a prayer book for
anyone looking for ways to revitalise the way they pray or who is
struggling to make space for devotional time with God. Packed full
of ideas for different ways to pray and tips and advice for how to
build prayer practices into everyday life, Brian's book will change
the way you think about prayer and devotion and equip you with all
the tools you need to deepen your relationship with God. You can
use the book individually or in small groups, or read it alongside
24-7 Prayer's new Be Still prayer course. It also makes a great
resource for youth leaders looking to help teenagers cultivate
daily rhythms of prayer and spend more quiet time with God, or as a
gift for people starting out on their faith journey or those
returning to faith after a while. Join Brian Heasley, and discover
the different ways in which we can all Be Still.

This book, "The Glory of Yahweh" will inspire everyone who wants a
closer relationship with God. Know God, feel God, touch God and let
God touch you. We need to go back to the altar of praising and
worshipping God. Since the age of 5 years - the Lord has had His
hands over my life, not just for protection. It goes beyond that -
it's an all around blessing. I heard the call to lift up His name
and worship Him. God's purpose was for me to lift up His name. I
felt God was taking me through tests of what it takes to be a
worshipper. I felt I was on a journey of experiences with God. It
felt like a training field for what was to come. My mother waited
on God throughout the hard times concerning my life. At times she
thought I was going to go to heaven before my time. God preserved
my life to worship Him. Worship The Lord in the beauty of Holiness.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and every thing
else will fall in place. Worship is a place of knowing God
personally. It's a place of drawing strength from God, and a place
that is refreshing and uplifting. Let's go back to a place of
praising and worshipping God our father. Let's go back to the
throne room of God.
If you're easily distracted when praying, you're not alone. In
fact, if you struggle to pray in the first place, that's not
unusual either. Tim Chester tells us how we can be great pray-ers.
And he admits that that's a really bold claim. 'The secret of great
praying has nothing to do with human effort or skill,' he explains.
'Lots of people would like to think that it does because they want
to make prayer an achievement.' But the secret of great praying is
... Knowing three things about God: * That God the Father loves to
hear us pray * That God the Son makes every prayer pleasing to God
* That God the Holy Spirit helps us as we pray Tim looks at: why
prayer is easy (how we pray), why prayer is difficult (why we pray)
and the arguments and priorities of prayer (what we pray). Prayer
is a child asking her father for help. And that's not beyond any
one of us.
