All Christians seek a better prayer life-ideally one where they connect with and have a closer relationship with God. Too many of us, however, have nagging feelings of guilt when it comes to asking God for what we want. Ralph Moore reminds us that it is absolutely OK to pray for God to meet our needs. In fact, we should do so with every expectancy that God will answer our prayers, because He loves us and always wants to help us. When we pray with a clear conscience and place our trust in Him, all things are indeed possible. This simple, straightforward book provides answers to basic questions on prayer for all Christians-and for anyone who wants to understand prayer and how it can transform your life.
This was a nice book about prayer. You will not be let down if that is what you are looking for.
The content is well written and easy to absorb, it is filled with stories, examples, quotes from scripture and encouragement that will inspire your prayer life.
Each chapter is short enough to be read and thought about in a single sitting.
It is not a daring book. No matter the title it is just a nice book about getting close to God in prayer.
I was hoping it was going to show me how to be daring in prayer. Nevertheless, if you like to read books about prayer to lift your spirits and stay encouraged them this is a good one.
"One of the ways the devil tries to erode our faith is with little mind games he plays on us. His goal is to keep us from praying." ~ Ralph Moore, "Prayer: Dare to Ask", p. 39
This book encourages us to step out and ask God for things in prayer. The truth that set me free the most is that sometimes God does not give us everything we ask for our own good, but at least by making our requests made known to God, He will provide His decision, whether it be "yes" or "no". That is an answer to our prayers, but it may not be the answer we wanted, but nevertheless, it is God's will and we must not fight it.
