A Little Book of Prayers R Joseph Owles

The Book of James says that the prayers of a just person are effective. This means that Christian prayer produces results. The results may not always be what we are expecting, but they are always somehow effective. Paul tells us to "Constantly pray!" This book is a collection of prayers from different sources to assist with the apostolic instruction to pray. Some of the prayers are traditional. Some of the prayers are not traditional. Some of the prayers are for specific circumstances and conditions. In addition to a collection of prayers for various occasions, there are also prayers that are found in the Bible, and a short collection of psalms that are useful for praying. This book is a resource for those who may be new to faith and not know yet how to pray or may not feel comfortable praying on their own; for those who are confident in their ability to pray, but who like to meditate on other prayers or use other prayers as a guide for their own; and perhaps even for those who have become forgetful from illness or age, who desire to pray but find it difficult to remember prayers. Many people have found the prayers in this book to be both inspiring and useful. May they be so for you.
