Prayer is an invocation or act that seeks to activate a rapport with an object of worship through deliberate communication. In the narrow sense, the term refers to an act of supplication or intercession directed towards a deity (a god), or a deified ancestor. The book helps everyone to draw closer to God in a way that is truly transparent. Use this as a guide as you simply talk with the God of the universe! Prayer is essential to human life. In some form or another, prayer has been found everywhere. It is recorded in every history and among all people groups across the planet. From the Vikings of Norway to Cherokee Indians of the Great Plains to the Hindus of India; as long as we have been communicating with one another, we have been trying to communicate with a higher power. Even Homer's epic poem, "The Iliad," is opened with a prayer to the gods. Everyone prays, but there are so many unanswered questions. Why should I pray if God already knows? Why doesn't God answer my prayers? What makes prayer authentic? How can I pray with power? What does prayer have to do with my deepest desires? How can my prayers change the world? These questions and more will be answered as you explore this book.
