Prayer changes you. How could it not? Prayer gives us access into a holy space. It immerses us in His presence, bathing us in God's attention. Prayer nurtures our relationship with our Savior.

Prayer is our conversations with God. Prayer must go along with scripture/word. In scripture, we can know the attributes of God and the will of God. Praying God's will, will begin to change our desires. What is God's will- for us to be changed like Christ and for God's rule and reign. His kingdom come, His will be done.

There are many things that keep us from prayer and praying correctly. The text brings the reader to look at prayer not as something to receive but something to give. When done correctly, puts us in a humble position before God and others. Remember the example Jesus gave. The one who prayed thanking God that he was not like the sinner across the room while the sinner prayed "have mercy on me". Which of those prayers reaches out the heart of God?

In light of that, each 10 chapters discusses prayer in what keeps us from it, what hinders our prayers, and what prayer does. Each chapter ends with prayer in light of what was just read. A prayer with life changing implications.

Prayer can change your heart towards God and others. When we pray for those that hurt us, it keeps us from bitterness. Prayer is so much more.
