The Bible contains numerous models of prayers offered to God by His people. Even Jesus prayed to His Father and spent significant time in solitude listening to Him. Yet it seems that today very few Christians actually spend time with the Lord. For many, prayer has been reduced to squeezing in a few seconds to give thanks before meals and listing requests at bedtime. Still, many Christians long to develop a disciplined and meaningful prayer life but find it difficult to know where or how to begin.

With gentle guidance and insight, she provides practical prayer techniques that will transform their view of prayer and strengthen their relationship with the Lord.
