Have you started a book and then gotten caught in this endless spiral of rewriting, revising, and re-analyzing the same pages over and over without making any forward progress? Or have you taken a deep breath and screamed through the white-knuckle race of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and then finished out November feeling like a mummified fruit that’s been run over by a truck? And your book STILL isn’t finished? The MOST frequent question I get is “How do you find it in you to keep going to the end?” And people who ask me this don’t want an answer like “Just keep ...

“Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 God wants to be our source. He wants to give to us. He wants to be the One we come to when we need ANYTHING. He doesn’t want us to chase after idols or witchcraft or fortune-tellers or even our friends or family for the things we need most desperately. He wants our ultimate Provider. He wants us to come to Him. Do you think He will disappoint us when we do exactly what He wants us to do? Get it out of your head that it’s wrong to expect things from God, that it’s wrong to expect miracles ...

DOES PRAYER AFFECT THE MIND OF GOD? This strikes at the core of what most people really fear about prayer: that it doesn’t matter. That God’s mind is made up, that His plan is set in stone, and that prayer is merely for figuring out what God’s plan is, and then aligning yourself with that plan. Truly, if this were the case, there would be no point whatsoever in praying for faraway hurricane victims, people starving in concentration camps, people dying of cancer, people traveling, civic leaders, or anyone outside your personal sphere of influence. Yet we are commanded to pray for these...

IF THIS BOOK HAS COME INTO YOUR HANDS, GOD MEANT FOR YOU TO FIND IT. Remember how we have talked about how God does not control everything? If He controlled everything, everything here on earth would be like heaven. There would be no murder, no fraud, no diseases, no deceit, no abuse, no addictions, no suicide, no abortion, no divorce, no parasites, no terrorism, no false religions, nothing wicked, ugly or evil at all. It would be perfect. But we have free will. God gave us that—because what is love received from a robot? It isn’t love. And also, we wouldn’t be made in His image if we...

If this book has come into your hands, God meant for you to find it. Within the twelve prayers in this volume, I discovered so much wisdom, and truths that startled me. I realized that I had been taught several concepts that aren’t Biblical, like how you should not ask God for a sign, and that you need to be prepared to sacrifice the very thing you are praying for. What is the truth? What does the Bible really say? Are you ready to set aside what you’ve heard a million times, and look at these stories with an honest and fresh eye? Because if you do, I think you’ll find a few things ...

While I’m waiting and praying, I have been learning a great deal as I re-study all these prayers—the most stunning is probably the tally of answered prayers in Scripture. The “Yeses” just keep piling up! Is that surprising to you, too? What also surprises me is what we are taught in church about prayer. This may depend upon your denomination and background, but most Christians I have talked to have common ideas about prayer. However, if you dig into the Scripture, you can’t really find examples of these things actually happening. These ideas are taught to young children, and they ...

I grew up a Christian, went to church and Sunday School, read the Bible through a few times, attended group studies, even took some college courses like History of Christianity, The Book of Mark, and The Book of Acts. I thought I was pretty well-educated for a layperson, and believed I understood God. It wasn't until I needed a miracle, and came face to face with desperation, that I realized I actually did not know the true nature of God, or how to talk to Him at all. I was driven to find out what the Bible actually said about prayer—conversation with God. Who prayed, what did they pray ...
