This ESV Prayer Journal will guide you in a study on humility over
6 weeks, creating space for writing and praying about how to
develop a heart and mind free of pride and self-importance.
2011 Leadership Journal Top Book of the Year "At the very heart of
God is the passionate disposition to be in loving fellowship with
you. . . . From the human side of this equation it is meditative
prayer that ushers us into this divine-human fellowship." Richard
Foster, bestselling author and founder of Renovar?, writes these
words as one who has experienced what they describe. And in this
new book he will beautifully guide you in this transformational
way, that you might come to know deeper fellowship with God.
Weaving together quotes and stories from the lives of mothers and
fathers of the faith as well as powerful encounters with God from
his own life, Foster describes the riches of quieting your mind and
heart in order to listen to and obey God more closely. Along the
way, at perhaps his clearest, most practical best, he also provides
the biblical teaching and step-by-step help you need to begin this
prayer practice for yourself. The journey into meditative prayer is
not easy, but it is essential. And, as Foster shows, it's possible,
even in the midst of the noisy, often chaotic world we live in.
Your soul can become a sanctuary where you fellowship with the very
God of the universe, who knows you and loves you deeply. These
pages point the way.
How our temperament and personality affect our prayer life
Why do so many struggle to pray? Dr. Pablo Martinez, a medical
doctor and psychotherapist, suggests that our basic personality
type strongly affects both how we pray and what we pray about.
Extroverts may struggle to develop a regular prayer life;
introverts will be more likely to set time apart. Thinking types
find prayer more satisfactory if accompanied by pen and paper;
feeling types may long for intimacy with God; intuitive types tend
to be innovators andvisionaries, and may have a more mystical bent;
sensation types often have a particular capacity for spontaneous
prayer; and so on. The purpose of this book is to help us
understand, and work with, our own spiritual path.
"A profound, practical and personal book in which the skill of
the psychiatrist and the gentleness of the pastor are combined. . .
. I cannot imagine any reader failing to be helped by it, as I have
been myself."
--John Stott
"A unique blend of biblical teaching, spiritual wisdom,
psychiatric expertise and insight into human nature."

What if there was a key that made every prayer more
effective--something that would bring all prayers into agreement
with the heart of God every single time? This type of praying does
exist, says bestselling author and prophetic leader James W. Goll,
and it's called prophetic intercession. It is the humble act of
holding the needs of people before God while leaning into God's
heart for them. There is nothing mystical or elite about this kind
of praying, and it's for the new Christian and the most seasoned
prayer warrior. All you need is to learn to lean into your heavenly
Father and pray what you see and hear in alignment with his heart,
empowered by the Holy Spirit. God wants you to align your heart
with his. He wants you to pray more effectively in these turbulent
times, and he wants you to help usher in the fullness of his
purposes on the earth. Are you ready?
When life's troubles overwhelm you and you feel yourself slipping
into depression or filled with anxiety, find your peace in God.
Take comfort in knowing that he cares deeply for you and he will be
with you in your darkest moments. '365 Days of Prayer for
Depression & Anxiety' is a collection of daily prayers that
help you find the compassion, confidence, courage, identity,
inspiration, and purpose you need to get through each day.
Heartfelt prayers, encouraging Scriptures, and prompting questions
give you an opportunity to consider more deeply the hope found in
God and in the promises of his Word. Begin to experience underlying
joy and peace as you dwell in the love and care of your heavenly
Father.
Bestselling author Stormie Omartian provides you with simple but effective areas of prayer focus intended to ignite your prayer life. Each can take only a minute, or it can be the subject of a longer, more in-depth time of communication with God.
Your life, and the people and situations around you, need as much prayer as you can give. In Keys to Powerful Prayer, Stormie will help you pray more effectively. She answers the question “How can I maximize the time I have in prayer in order to see greater results?”
Start small and let these powerful insights on prayer have a life-changing impact on all of your prayer times.

The Sarum Prayer is a remarkably accessible ancient prayer with
contemporary appeal-memorable, physical, genderless, and mystical.
It is suited for use throughout the day, invoking a God who
inhabits all things, including our senses. Like the Serenity
Prayer, it appeals to those relying on God to get through their
day. This book offers a step-by-step introduction to the prayer
that fosters improved conscious contact with God. With forty short
meditations, it draws the reader into the different aspects of the
prayer each day and can serve as an easy access Lenten guide. These
short essays are designed to mediate an enhanced experience through
daily use. Though field-tested as a Lenten prayer guide, it is a
devotional suitable for any time of year, making connection with
God possible even to those not steeped in a religious tradition.
'If someone asked me, "Joyce, if you could make only one comment
about prayer, what would it be?" I would have to respond by talking
about its simplicity. It is so much easier than we think.' Somehow
we have convinced ourselves that prayer is dry and difficult; we
have invented religious 'systems' for prayer that place it out of
reach for many of us. But THE POWER OF SIMPLE PRAYER shows us that
God desires our prayer lives to be enjoyable and as natural as
breathing. Joyce Meyer's life-transforming new book: * Answers the
most basic questions we are sometimes afraid to ask: what is prayer
and how do we do it? * Offers you the key to a more powerful,
effective prayer life * Helps you decide when it is and when it is
not right to pray * Identifies 'Fourteen Hindrances to Answered
Prayer'
Unique, Powerful Call to the Front Lines of Prayer From bestselling
author James W. Goll, a strategic prophetic leader in global
intercessory prayer, comes an in-depth journey into the heart of
what it means to be a "watchman on the wall." Designed for serious
worshipers and intercessors, this unique 21-day journey will help
you move to the front lines of prayer--becoming more alert to the
presence of God and praying his will with confidence. With
reflection questions, devotional prayers, and practical
application, this book will help you * discern the specific
spiritual atmosphere around you * discover the strategies of God
for certain times * pray more effectively for others * understand
how to intercede for current events Walking in the lifestyle of a
watchman means that you can be the sentinel that God is calling his
mature intercessors to be. Learn to partner with the strategies of
heaven and step boldly into your calling.
In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray!" Most
of us want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used
to offering up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most
effective way or if we are approaching the throne of God in the
"right" way. We ask ourselves: How do I listen for God? How do I
pray for healing? How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack?
How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin? How do
I pray for protection? How do I pray for my lost friends and
family? In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video
sold separately), bestselling author John Eldredge shows how we
labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to
intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This
faulty assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask
of God but can't sense He hears us-or even cares. Rather, Jesus
says, "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever
you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose
on earth will be loosed in heaven" (Matthew 16:19). When we operate
from this position, we approach prayer with far greater confidence.
We understand we have a role in making change happen and are not
victims of circumstance-that we are sons and daughters of God
bestowed with tremendous authority. Sessions include: There Is a
Way Things Work The Cry of the Heart The Prayer of Intervention The
Prayer of Consecration Listening Prayer Warfare Prayer Healing
Prayer Holding the Heart in Unanswered Prayer Designed for use with
the Moving Mountains Video Study (sold separately).
