Instead of making a New Year's Resolution, I want to show God my appreciation for what he had been in my life each day. At 4:30 A. M. for 2 years I prayed to God and just gave him thanks each day. From January 1, 2014-January 31, 2014. and January 1, 2015- January 31, 2015 For these 2 years no matter how much I needed the Lord, I never ask for anything I just thanked and praised him and he truly blessed me. It is amazing what God can do when you ask it all in his Son Jesus Name.

In our busy, every-day-lives we must change our focus from the worldly mind to the silent contemplation of the spirit, from the many to the One. In prayer we seek to know the reality and presence of God. It is not a cold, calculating process but what the Greek Fathers called theoria a passionate, contemplative insight, involving communion and sharing. Anglicanism in the Jewish tradition describes three levels of existence as one; body, mind and spirit. We must discipline ourselves to assure the transition from the body and mind to the spirit. To help inform our prayers and leave room for personal expression The Anglican Prayer Life emphasizes both the structured prayers in the Book of Common Prayer and personal prayers informed by Scripture. Whether used as a companion in individual prayer, with a prayer partner, anamchara, or in a formal prayer group, this little book will help you enter a relationship with Jesus Christ and provide both solace in your personal needs and the courage to intercede on behalf of others.

I Am My Prayer is a memoir of the author’s public and private prayer experience. It is also a guide and explanation of key elements of public Jewish Services. The book familiarizes readers with the use of prayer metaphors, questions about God, the importance of communal prayer, ethical values expressed in the liturgy, and consideration of creative liturgy. While the context of the book is Jewish, it has a universal message to anyone who struggles with prayer, and who seeks to be comfortable and fulfilled in a service. The discussions in these pages draw upon biblical and rabbinic texts, kabbalistic tradition, and upon modern philosophers and contemporary writers. This volume will be useful to individual seekers and for classes on prayer and liturgy.

Drawing on insights from Scripture, tradition, psychology, and experience, this book offers a comprehensive guide to Prayer in Practice, an essential resource for students and seekers alike. Applying ancient wisdom to contemporary questions, Prayer in Practice responds to the perennial request, “Teach us to pray.”

While many feel that prayer is the right of every believer, I personally believe that prayer is not our right but a privilege that has been afforded us by our heavenly Father. The writer of the book of Hebrews declared, "Let us come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Hebrews 4:16). The invitation from our Father is to come and find rest from the daily pressures of our life. It is an invitation to discover a sense of peace that can come only when we realize that no matter how big our problems may be, God is bigger still. His invitation is to find him to be our all in all as we cast every care upon him. My prayer is, for all who read this book, that prayer, if now a neglected privilege, will become the most important part of each day""that Prayer, is indeed, So Great an Invitation.

If you are like most Christians, you know you should be praying more often, taking it more seriously, and giving it more priority in your life.
