A Lifeline to the Peace and Joy You've been Looking for What if
prayer was more than just something you mumbled before going to
sleep, or said quickly when your team takes the field or you're
about to take a test? What if prayer was a gateway to the best
relationship you've ever had? An energizing, joy-filled,
peace-giving connection to God? This devotional provides regular
readings to help connect you to God through prayer. It also
contains journaling prompts and questions that will bring the
concepts of Worried about Everything to life, taking you to the
next step in your faith. Join pastor/author Chad Veach as he guides
you day-by-day to a closer walk with God. You'll be so glad you
did.
'"Can't anyone teach me how to pray?" Millions of people today are
asking the same question. There is a sense of the necessity of
prayer - we have to pray. But how?' Prayer is central to Christian
faith; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is
the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle
with prayer - a struggle that the author himself has shared. This
wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a
real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer.
Keller begins by giving a theological underpinning of what prayer
actually is - both conversation and encounter with a personal God -
before describing how we can learn to pray, and then deepen that
prayer. Finally he gives detailed, practical suggestions on how to
make prayer a part of the reality of daily life.
