_______________________________________________________

Today I am going off the beaten path a little to discuss how to pray. I had a short page or two about in the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.” I have some books I have read for a resource that will guide you in this subject.

Where Do I Find Out How to Pray? 

            Prayer has to be the necessary foundation I talked about in the introduction for part one. With prayer you can talk to your heavenly Father, and He will guide you through your trials and daily routines.

            It seems like prayer is the easiest thing to set aside. You often think you don’t have time for it. In reality, prayer is the one thing you need to make time for. All other things should be after prayer.

            I have some books I have read that really have helped me understand prayer. They really taught me how to pray. Check these out and let me know if they have helped you. You can find my contact information in the appendix.

            The following books are all written by Stormie Omartian. You can find any of them by going to Amazon.com and putting in her name. These books were published by Harvest House Publishers:

Just Enough Light for the Step I’m On: Trusting God in the Tough Times. (Her first book; good background information on the life she had to go through to start leaning on prayer.)

The Power of a Praying Husband

The Power of a Praying Wife

The Power of a Praying Kid

The Power of a Praying Woman

The Power of Praying Through the Bible

Praying God’s Will for Your Life: Student’s Edition

The Prayer That Changes Everything (I highly recommend this one)

Anger Can Give you Great Power, or it Can Destroy you

How do we deal with anger. Some get even by striking back at the person that made them angry. Others remain silent, but hold a grudge for years.

What do you do?

Some thoughts on Anger:

  • Anger can give you great power, or it can destroy you.
  • Anger usually only hurts the person feeling the anger.
  • Anger leads to a dead end in your life.
  • Anger can be dismantled by perseverance, and persistence, in your prayer life.

I have had to deal with anger in my own life. I have a short fuse that I learned to control through the prayer I mentioned above. When something doesn’t go right and I am frustrated, I ask God to take over my frustration and give me hope and peace.

Try to put your anger in perspective. Channel it into something positive, and use it to grow.

Just a reminder that we have a bookstore here that has the book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World.”

There have been many letters,  phone calls, and emails sent to me as to praise for the book.

One example is a mother who is paralyzed, and in a wheel chair. She actually called me, and said, “Your book is an inspiration to me. I thank God for being able to read it. It has given me hope.”

I received a note from a mother who bought the book right off of this site.  ” I am so pleased with your book. I gave it to my son who is battling depression. I pray it will bless him as much as it did me.”

The book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” helps those who may be suffering from anxiety, fear, depression, addictions, self-doubt, hopelessness, and the many other usual suspects.

I bet you can think of someone who fits in there somewhere. Help out others who may just need a little encouragement.  

There is a special sale going on now until Christmas. (Yes, it is only about 75 days until Christmas.)

Just click on the “Bookstore” tab above and see that the book is only $15.99. It is $19.99 in the retail stores. The shipping is cut in half as well. A total savings of over $6.00.

If you have read my book, “Signs of Hope: Ways to Survive in an Unfriendly World,” you will have seen that all the chapters start with a bumper sticker. What follows are some that didn’t make it into that book, but will be used in future books:

  • Honk  if you love Jesus. Text while you are driving if you want to meet Him.
  • Easter is more than something to dye for.
  • Need a life guard? Jesus walks on water.
  • Be an organ donor. Give your heart to Jesus.
  • Prayer- wireless access to God with no roaming fees.
  • Forbidden fruits create many jams.
  • Ge right or get left.
  • God is like a detergent. He gets the stains out others have left.
  • I’m making a list and checking it twice. -God
  • Sun screen prevents sin burn.
  • You have Facebook friend request from Jesus. Confirm or ignore.
  • Dust on your Bible can lead to dirt in your life.
  • Get off Facebook and read my book. -God.

My own thought I add every time I post: Never, ever, give up!

You can see that bumper stickers tell a story in themselves. That is why I was able to write a whole book with their titles, and make some words to live by through them.
