Author Rebecca Friedlander developed this rhythm of prayer while praying over her land and cultivating a “thin place;” where the atmosphere between heaven and earth is thin, and one can easily enter into God's Presence.
There is a vast difference between saying your prayers and praying your prayers.
Thank you, Rebecca, for such an excellent and much-needed guide,

BECOME A BRAVE PRAY-ER: LEARN TO PRAY BRAVE PRAYERS!
“Brave Prayers: A Liturgy for the Modern Prayer Warrior”
I can hear the questions in your minds already:
“What ARE brave prayers?”
“What’s a Liturgy?”
Be brave and come on a journey of discovery with me.
The truth is that there are many books on prayers and how to pray.
Let me show you what’s special about this one.
Over several years, these prayers have been developed by Rebecca and the prayer team at Potters House, in the woods of East Texas. They have soaked the ground with prayer and are now seeing the results: healings, deliverances, and restorations into many lives, as they have followed insights from the Holy Spirit.
This little book is not an academic prayer treatise.
It is a practical manual for spiritual warfare and spiritual growth.
Rebecca says that Potters House is a Thin Place. These are places where heaven seems very close to earth, because they have bathed in prayer over a longtime.
There is something about persistence in prayer that brings lasting powerful impact of the Holy Spirit.
Rebecca has a passion to develop a rhythm of prayer for daily life, like the early Christians. This is a liturgy, but a liturgy of life, not rote prayers. These rhythms were patterns of practising God’s presence.
As a rabbi, Jesus taught this model to his disciples saying, “Pray this way,” when he taught them the Lord’s prayer. This pattern was also the lifestyle of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and the early Celtic church. Andy Raine, a modern follower of Celtic Christianity, says the Celtic church “taught people to live their prayers and pray their lives.” There was no false dichotomy of sacred and secular.
This book is a liturgy both ancient and modern. Rebecca shares effective modern prayers developed by her team, and ancient ones from the Antiphonary of Bangor, produced by early Celtic saints. And there’s a bonus with a link to teaching videos.
Let’s go on the prayer journey!
Five progressive stages in five chapters.
Each stage leads on to the next.
Identity -> Protection -> Welcome -> Healing -> Gathering.
1-Identity:
Rebecca says, “Our rhythm of prayer begins with this theme, because entering in deeply to our identity and authority in Christ is key. If we attempt spiritual warfare on our own merits, we'll most decidedly fail. When we're securely anchored to Jesus and his victory, we'll discover that he has called us to overcome - and we can!”
2-Protection:
Rebecca shares prayers to apply the blood of Jesus to the land. “I didn't just want a quick revival or small out-pouring of the Holy Spirit. I wanted the abiding presence of God that people could easily access when they came. Because of this, we needed to focus on what mattered to the Holy Spirit.”
3-Welcome:
“In this chapter, we'll be welcoming the Holy Spirit into the area we've prepared for him! …We're not inviting a force, we're inviting a Person.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit will move in signs and healings. Other times he simply hovers: the glory rests on his people, just as the Spirit moved over the waters before God spoke at creation. We don't decide how he wants to move: we simply prepare the space and follow his lead.”
4-Healing:
Rebecca noticed that “when people started experiencing physical healing at the cabin, it was incredibly exciting; especially because I was the LAST person you would want to pray for you if you were sick! I simply did not have the gift of healing. However, I discovered that we could pray into the atmosphere of the land, and God would move! Many times he healed people without us praying for them. Other times they experienced deliverance, and healing was the byproduct of their freedom.”
5-Gathering:
“At the cabin, we pray over the group dynamic, recognizing that individuals are part of the "whole family of God" in heaven and earth. It becomes a natural flow of how we encounter God corporately: we pray over our time together. Our sacrifice of worship doesn't begin when we meet, but before anyone enters the space. We set the atmosphere in prayer. This also confronts spiritual warfare head on”
===
This is a great prayer resource.
Future editions would be enhanced by having chapter titles in the Table of Contents, not just at the beginning of each chapter, plus a summary sentence in the TOC, e.g. Chapter 1: Identity. Discover the importance of knowing your Identity to become a Brave Prayer Warrior.
This would make the flow of the prayer journey clearer to new readers.
===
I thoroughly recommend “Brave Prayers.”
Be brave. Get a copy and become a brave prayer warrior.
