Prayer: A Practical Guide to Spending Time in the Presence of God

By Edd Breeden

Have you ever wondered if you are being heard by God when you pray? Do you wish your prayers could sound more like other people who seem comfortable talking to God? This book will help you understand the reasons to pray, what happens to your prayers and what kinds of things you might do in prayer to enjoy spending more and more time with God. Thirty years ago, our youth group would gather in the sanctuary for prayer following the weekly meeting and the weekend coffee houses. It took me a long time before I spoke my prayers out loud. I just listened, learned and enjoyed the feeling of being in the presence of God and people who loved Him. From that beginning of hesitation until today, my spiritual journey has involved a lot of prayer. The places have varied from churches to cars to mountains to quietly whispering prayers in the midst of meetings. Along the way I have learned and put into practice a variety of methods of structuring my prayer time. Sometimes I came to prayer with deep concerns, other times with feelings of great joy. My desires were selfish at times and I even remember times when my prayers were greedy and lustful and full of anger and revenge. God has walked with me through my journey of learning, given me periods of dryness and boredom and also poured out upon me moments of extreme joy and wonder. This book includes over 50 different ideas to help you become comfortable in prayer and to freely share your deepest concerns with your God and Father. May you be richly blesses as you spend more and more time in His presence.
