Download or read book Finding Peace Through Prayer written by Dr. Clarence V. Sanders and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-05-18 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest and most valuable benefit of prayer is that we can draw near to God and learn from him. In this book, it shows us that we need to reserve more time to pray and meditate. When I pray the Lords prayer, I often wonder, how is our Fathers will done in heaven? In this book, we learn no matter where we are or what we are struggling with in life, God is always with us to bless and comfort us. Our Heavenly Father is with us in every difficult time and trial. In this book, we learn how God watches over us, comforts us, and loves us with an everlasting love that never fails. This book helps us to hear, to receive, and to respond because it lays us open to unforeseen conclusions. True spiritual transformation can happen when we allow the word of God to address us rather than us trying to control it and its effect on us. Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand (Isa. 41:10, NIV). The key to understanding lifes storms is in your private meditation with the Lord. Ask him to give you understanding that you may apply it to your heart. And this I pray that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment (Phil. 1:9). Put what you have into his hands, and he will make it valuable. Prayer is intended for spiritual communication and for requesting things from God. It provides spiritual fellowship and communion. God tells us to ask him for what we need. We are encouraged to make our requests to the father in Jesuss name.
Download or read book Finding Inner Peace During Troubled Times written by William Moss and published by Christian Focus. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace is perhaps the most elusive, miraculous phenomenon in the human experience. From the kindergartners arguing on the playground to the world powers storing up technologically advanced weapons, we clearly struggle to coexist peacefully with each other. Yet for all our efforts to generate peace between people, we often overlook the importance of finding peace within ourselves. Though we long for this inner peace, our world full of war, famine, bank collapses, pandemics, and day-to-day struggles has discouraged us from even trying to find it. In his new book, Finding Inner Peace During Troubled Times, author William Moss shows readers that inner peace is indeed attainable in the person and presence of Jesus. As a high-powered businessman and a key political decision-maker, Moss has faced his share of daily distractions. For over a decade, he has studied and practiced the lost art of Christian meditation. "I believe God wants us to find peace and will show us the way, if we are willing to accept it. But for many, the peace of God is elusive. They are not sure how to accept it or where to begin in their pursuit of it," says Moss. "There are many difficulties, distractions, and hardships that stand in the way of our inner peace. Sometimes these are due to our circumstances. Other times it is our sin or the attitudes of our hearts that stand between us and the inner peace we crave. Through prayer and meditation we can transcend all the distractions and difficulties of our days if we live by the Spirit and put God’s love and presence first." Many believers are wary of any form of meditation because of its association with Eastern religions. These Christians might be surprised to learn that meditation was regarded as a key spiritual discipline throughout church history. Eastern meditation focuses on emptying the mind completely. Christians find inner peace by filling their minds—with scripture and with the presence of the Holy Spirit. Another fundamental difference is the motivation behind the meditation. Peace, like life, is a gift from God that is for His glory—and it is meant to be shared. For those who are in Christ, meditation is not about practicing the kind of self-focus that precludes people from being involved in the solutions of the many problems that confront them. It is communion with God through the Holy Spirit. It is letting go of anger, worry, and fear and taking on the loving, serving character of Christ instead. Finding Inner Peace During Troubled Times uses key scriptures to demonstrate God’s gift of peace to every believer. This slender book encourages readers to be intentional about pursuing that peace, even including a simple, step-by-step example of Christian meditation. "With the constant stream of media, noise, commitments, conflicts, and other distractions, you will not likely find times of quiet, stillness, and spiritual reflection unless you plan them, unless you pursue meditation as a discipline," states Moss. "The key to inner peace and a fulfilled life is one that is grounded in Christian mediation."

Book excerpt: Heaven has received a lot of attention in recent years as bestselling books and movies have told the stories of people who claim to have been there. But what does the Bible actually say about heaven? What difference does it make? What happens the moment after we die? What will our relationships be like in heaven? Chip Ingram sets aside the hype and myths and digs into the Scriptures to discover what God actually wants us to know about the hereafter. Most importantly, Ingram shows why our understanding of heaven matters now, in this life. Because what we believe about heaven actually affects us today in ways we may not have imagined.

Download or read book Forgiveness written by Adam Hamilton and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If your enemies are starving, feed them some bread; if they are thirsty, give them water to drink." Proverbs 24:17 (CEB) There is nothing more crippling than holding on to anger. Anger, more than any other emotion, has the power to consume all aspects of our lives, distort our sense of purpose, and destroy our relationship with God. In the passionate and life-changing book Forgiveness: Finding Peace Though Letting Go, bestselling author Adam Hamilton brings the same insight that he applied in the bestseller "Why?" to the challenge of forgiveness. Hamilton argues that revelation comes when we realize that forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves rather than to someone else. He also contends that only when we learn to forgive others and ourselves can we truly receive forgiveness from God. “Adam Hamilton not only reminds us about the importance of reconnecting the broken pieces of our lives, but shows how the process of grace and forgiveness is possibly our most complete picture of God.” --Shane Stanford, author of Making Life Matter: Embracing the Joy in the Everyday “The heartbeat of the gospel is grace. With practical insight, Hamilton makes grace understandable--both for seeking and for granting forgiveness. I highly recommend this book.” --Melody Carlson, author of Healing Waters: A Bible Study on Forgiveness, Grace, and Second Chances “Adam Hamilton’s book offers clear guidance for believers struggling with the practical application of our biblical imperative to forgive. It is a must-read for both Christian counselors and every person who has something or someone to forgive.” --Jennifer Cisney Ellers, author of The First 48 Hours: Spiritual Caregivers as First Responders "Deeply rooted in the Bible’s testimony about God’s extravagant mercy, this fine little book explores the Christian call to practice both repentance and forgiveness in the image of God. Straightforward and practical, Hamilton vividly sketches the habits of the heart that discipleship requires in our daily relationships with spouses and intimate life partners, family members, friends and strangers." --Patricia Beattie Jung, Professor of Christian Ethics, Saint Paul School of Theology

Download or read book Finding Peace Through Prayer written by Lilleth and Neville Morgan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer is our safe place, our place of refuge. Abraham Lincoln once said "I am often times driven to my knees by the overwhelming convictions that I have nowhere else to go. The pressures and troubles of life have a way of bringing us to the awareness of our need for the Father's help, and once we express our needs to the Father, He takes action on our behalf."" Prayer is our sure defense against the enemy. In Ephesians 6, Paul wrote, "finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of darkness, of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole amour of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all to stand". For those reason we need to equip and protect ourselves with the Lords armor. Amen, Praise the Lord.
