Description
Do our prayers really make a difference? Isn’t God going to do what He Sovereignly wants to do, anyway? What will happen if we don’t pray? When it comes to prayer there are so many questions. Often prayer is a last resort when it should be a first resort. Many times our prayers are a form of desperate begging rather than faith-filled petitions that get results. Instinctively we know we should pray and often in a time of crisis we automatically default to prayer, but can we be more effective? The answer is: Yes! In Getting a Grip on the Basics of Prayer, author Beth Jones shares her 30+ years of experience in prayer and in teaching the Bible basics to bring us the who, what, when, where, why and how of prayer! Prayer doesn’t have to be a dutiful or disappointing religious exercise, but rather our prayer life can become one of the most exciting and fulfilling parts of our walk with the Lord. As we understand the basics of prayer and “pray by the rules” God has established in His Word, we can experience the supernatural power of God in our lives. If you’ve been discouraged by prayers that seemingly didn’t get answered -- or they didn’t get answered the way you thought they would, as you study God’s Word in this “fill-in-the-blank” workbook, the Holy Spirit will help to connect-prayer-dots you may have not seen before and He will show you how to pray effective prayers that get results. He will help you understand the kinds of prayers He can’t answer (no matter how much we beg!) -- and He will teach you how to pray and experience answers to your prayers. Jesus wasn’t kidding when He promised us the joy of answered prayer, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” (John 16:23-24, NKJV) In this book we will cover these basics... • Who should pray and to Whom? • What should we pray about and what types of prayers does the Bible describe? • When should we pray and does timing matter? • Where should we pray and what should our posture be? • Why should we pray and what happens if we do not pray? • How do we “pray by the rules” to experience answers to prayer? Plus... • Answers to common questions and misunderstandings when it comes to effective prayer. • Ten basic Bible-based prayers you can pray today! When you complete this workbook, you will have a solid working knowledge of what the Bible says about prayer. You will be able to pray with humility, confidence, faith and boldness. You will know how to employ the various types of prayer God has given us to access all of heaven’s best. Most importantly, you will know how to pray faith-filled prayers that get heavenly results! I can’t wait to help you experience a greater degree of answered prayer and the fullness of joy, Jesus promised! Are you ready for a fun, prayer adventure?
