Discovering How to Pray

If you think there’s nothing new that can be written on prayer -- think again! In this practical and inspiring book, Discovering How to Pray, Hope MacDonald gives refreshing new insights into a perennial problem of Christians -- how, when, where, and why we should pray. The author distinguishes two kinds of prayer--'arrow' prayer (the kind we shoot up to God all day long) and the prayer of worship and intercession. Although arrow prayers are an important part of Christian life, says MacDonald, we cannot live on them unless they are 'grounded upon the foundation of our prayers of worship and intercession.' MacDonald outlines nine steps that can lead you to a meaningful life of prayer and worship: ·Making time to pray ·Finding a quiet place ·Worshiping and meditating ·Confession ·Time of thanksgiving ·Saying a prayer of protection ·Inner listening ·The prayer of faith ·Picturing the prayer as answered
