Prayer English

Master the biblical art of receiving from Heaven. Many Christians feel that their prayers produce no results, and that God remains distant, despite their pursuit of him. Why? Because many are seeking blessings and realities that are already available and accessible! The key to a fulfilling prayer life and an intimate relationship with God is not found in striving - it's found in simply receiving. In the biblical art of receiving from Heaven, we simply say “yes” to the lavish blessings that Jesus has already made available to every believer.

The Most Holy Rosary is one of the greatest prayers in the history of the Church. Garnished as it is with the testimony of saints and popes for the last thousand years, the only greater prayers are the Mass and the Divine Office. It is a prayer for the people, to be said over and over, and yet many still seek ways to enter into the deeper mansions of spiritual richness to be found in this devotion. If you seek to reap the full harvest of this bountiful prayer, focus on the mysteries to better follow the life of our Lord through the eyes of Our Blessed Lady.

Prayer is also the most misused, misunderstood, and un-used resource we have available to us. God created us in his image. His image! Do you understand what that means? It means we are as like God as any aspect of creation can be. It means we are special. It means God very much desires to have a relationship with us - one that is deeply personal. It means he will listen and answer our prayers when we pray because of his desire to be close to us.

Although arguably one of the simplest aspects of Christianity, prayer is also perhaps the most neglected, overlooked, and malnourished part of the average Christian’s day and life.

In this powerful and enlightening book, best-selling author and entrepreneur Patricia King helps listeners grasp the power of inspired and finely tuned prayer.

Its reception dates from the soul's contact with Calvary.

Thomas Watson (c. 1620 - 1686) was an English Puritan preacher and author.

Watson provides a lengthy and in-depth exposition of each concept or verse of the familiar prayer from Matthew 6. This is a valuable reference for Christians who wish to improve their prayer lives, as Watson derives deep layers of meaning from the simple words of the prayer.
