Prayer: Finding the Heart’s True Home
By Richard Foster / HarperOne
Best-selling author Richard Foster offers a warm, compelling, and sensitive primer on prayer, helping you to understand, experience, and practice it in its many forms. He clarifies the prayer process, answers common misconceptions, and shows the way into prayers of contemplation, healing, blessing, forgiveness, and rest.
Coming to prayer is like coming home, Foster says. “Nothing feels more right, more like what we are created to be and to do. Yet at the same time we are confronted with great mysteries. Who hasn’t struggled with the puzzle of unanswered prayer? Who hasn’t wondered how a finite person can commune with the infinite Creator of the universe? … We do our best, of course, to answer these knotty questions but when all is said and done, there is a sense in which these mysteries remain unanswered and unanswerable … At such times we must learn to become comfortable with the mystery.”
Foster shows how prayer can move you inward into personal transformation, upward toward intimacy with God, and outward to minister to others. He leads you beyond questions to a deeper understanding and practice of prayer, bringing you closer to God, to yourself, and to your community.
Prayer truly is the heart’s true home. We need to pray to God by humbling and surrendering ourselves to Him on a daily basis. By allowing God to put in you a prayerful spirit, the relationship you have with Him can grow deeper and intimate. Allow the Lord to give you a spirit of prayer!!!
