What drew you to read this book?:
The word prayer made me read this book. Any book that includes prayer in the cover makes me want to read it. Reminded me of the scripture in Deuteronomy 8:3b which says, 'to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord'.
What impact did this book have on your life?:
I am a strong believer in prayer and its impact on our lives. The book speaks on what prayer means, how to effectively pray and waiting on the Lord. The author also speaks about thanksgiving and references Hannah's prayer.
In a paragraph, what is the main point of this book?:
The book highlights the when and how God answers prayers, understanding that prayer is the key to opening any and all doors. We should take on the same posture as Hannah, not be hindered by our circumstance but focus on God for our needs. The author mentions how prayer changes our focus from inward to outwardly looking to God, it shifts from our cares, burdens and at times stress.
This is mentioned in Psalm 4:1 as well as James 5:13, for us believers, praying should be part and parcel of our existence". When God is silent it does not mean He doesn't hear us. Let us be reminded that God's timing is perfect.
Who would benefit from reading this book?:
Those who are struggling to accept God's will and anyone who doesn't know the importance of prayer. If you want to equip yourself more about the journey of walking with God, this book will be beneficial for you.
