Prayer Power: 30 Days to a Stronger Connection with God

by Peter Lundell

Prayer Power covers thirty key aspects of prayer in a highly accessible manner. Each succinct chapter looks at an element essential to dynamic prayer, such as repentance, passion, journaling, fasting, listening, spiritual warfare, praying with others, and more. The book's thirty-day format and appendix of "growth gauges" make it intensely practical and useful as a month-long devotional, as a prayer guide, or as a reference for help in specific areas.

Prayer Power is peppered with inspiring stories of people who have left powerful examples by their lives of prayer. It is a refreshing, straightforward resource for new believers or mature believers seeking a deeper connection with God.

About the author

I love traveling, taking chances, and being in other cultures; I surf-kayak and ski like a crazy person. But I think the greatest adventures are in relationships—with God and with people.

I’ve always believed in God. But for decades I resented God for letting my dad die when he was a missionary in Africa. I rebelled, tried Zen and checked out other religions. But nothing filled me.

When I finally believed that the God of the Bible was the greatest ultimate truth—and that he loved me despite who I was—I fell in love with him, and my world changed. I got a Master of Divinity and Doctor of Missiology from Fuller Theological Seminary and am currently a pastor and Bible college instructor in Southern California.

I love interacting with people who don’t believe in Jesus, as well as those who love him with deep passion. I love probing the unseen world, exploring tough questions, and helping people become all they were created to be.

If you made a map of what I write about, both fiction and nonfiction, it would be of what happens in the intersection of heaven and earth. There I want to help people live by God's Word and Spirit.

As a mere human, I admit that my prayer life is a mess. This book reminds me that I need to pray with tenacity and be persistent in prayer (Day 24), be ready and quick to pray even before the storms come, and understanding that God has reasons behind my unanswered prayers (I know that sounds cliche, but it does give me hope).

There are also some new things I've learned for the first time, for example: A.C.T.S that stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication (Day 7), which is a simple pattern that reminds us about our prayer priorities.
"If you pray mainly in order to GET--even to get good things--you are missing the main reason to pray. The main things is to CONNECT with God, to be with Him."
