Prayer is the most natural thing in the world -- even for those who don't believe in God. Think of the words that leap from our heart in the face of an overwhelming tragedy...usually, 'Oh God!'
I'm preparing a very special worship experience for the folks of Phos Hilaron Church that will build in time to 'do' prayer and to experience God up close and personal. So, I thought I'd pass along 5 book titles that I've found helpful in preparing for this weekend.
1. Believing Prayer by Andrew Murray -- simple, but powerful. This is great primer on prayer.
2. Too Busy Not to Pray by Bill Hybels -- classic Hybels gets right to the point
3. Pivotal Praying by Tim Elmore & John Hull -- this is packed with practical prayer wisdom and I'd highly recommend this to you if you'd like to pray better NOW.
4. Hearing God by Dallas Willard -- not an easy read as usual with Willard, but the effort will be very rewarding.
5. Prayer--Finding the Heart's True Home by Richard J. Foster -- the opening chapter is AMAZING! You've got to at least hit a bookstore and read that! And, then go ahead and buy the book.
We all pray! We may as well do it with a better grasp of how to grow our faith and relationship with God along the journey.
It's not really about faith 'in prayer' -- it's about Faith in God who is in charge of answering our prayers in the manner He deems best.
Pray Strong!
