Download or read book Praying Together written by Megan Hill and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all Christians would affirm the centrality of prayer for a healthy Christian life. And yet, for many, prayer is often a challenge, requiring intense personal commitment and self-discipline. However, as Megan Hill points out in Praying Together, our normal approach to prayer leaves out a crucial component: other people. While personal prayer is important, God designed the church to be a community of believers who regularly pray together. Exploring the Bible's rich teaching on what it means to gather at God's throne with one voice, Hill lays a theological foundation for corporate prayer and offers practical guidance for making it a reality—in our families, churches, and communities.
Download or read book Together We Pray written by J Bradley (Brad) Wigger and published by Chalice Press. This book was released on 2005-05-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together We Pray is a book of prayers written especially for families with children. It brings together grandparents, parents, older children, and even the youngest child to give thanks and to ask for God's help and mercy for the family and for the world. The prayers offered in Together We Pray are inspired by the Psalms of the Bible, scripture shared by Jews and Christians. They include prayers for the table, devotional prayers, and memory prayers that young children can easily understand. The prayers for table and devotion begin with a line or two from the Psalm in which the prayer is rooted and celebrate the good things of life just as the Psalms do--food, joy, home, love, and more. They also express a concern for other people and places around the world. For so many families, life today seems fast-paced and chaotic. Stopping for a moment to breathe, pausing and expressing thanks and gratitude to God, can be very powerful, even if the pause is relatively brief. Together We Pray helps families to take that pause, to share in God's love and grace, and to do so in the most profound and lasting way--together as a family.

Book excerpt: Life Is Never Mainly About Love and Marriage. So Learn to Live and Date for More. Many of you grew up assuming that marriage would meet all of your needs and unlock God's purposes for you. But God has far more planned for you than your future marriage. Not Yet Married is not about waiting quietly in the corner of the world for God to bring you "the one," but about inspiring you to live and date for more now. If you follow Jesus, the search for a spouse is no longer a pursuit of the perfect person, but a pursuit of more of God. He will likely write a love story for you different than the one you would write for yourself, but that's because he loves you and knows how to write a better story. This book was written to help you find real hope, happiness, and purpose in your not-yet-married life.

Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.

Download or read book Warring For My Girls written by Mya Douglas and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women and girls across the world are struggling in the area of friendships like never before. After a certain age, the idea of maintaining fruitful, equally balanced friendships seems far-fetched. Through her own personal growth and struggles, Mya Kay shares prayers and stories from her heart, that are meant to encourage you to war for the girls in your life. Never one to present a challenge without having first walked through it, Mya Kay shares insight after each devotional on the times she herself wasn't a good friend; times she felt misunderstood as a friend; and essentially, what her friendship with Christ taught her about the value of sacrifice in friendships, all to help get you to one place - becoming the friend you desire to have. This 30-Day Devotional will teach you how to: -Pray word-inspired prayers to cover your friends in different areas of their lives-Encourage yourself when you aren't sure where you stand as a friend-Press into God's presence on behalf of a friend-Denounce the spirit of jealousy before you lose your friend-Discern the difference between valuing and supporting your friend...And much more! Truth: You can have valuable, God-driven, fruitful and equally beneficial friendships. You just have to learn how to war against the real enemy. Review: "Warring for My Girls has definitely impacted me spiritually. Throughout my time reading the book, it was clear that God was reminding me of three major things - one, intentionality is key; two, friendships are to be stewarded; and three, love is yielding to what a person needs in various seasons (including myself) - and not simply what I think should be occurring or what I desire. I could feel my faith being both ignited and challenged as I thought to myself, 'do I war for all of my friends in these strategic, specific, and powerful ways?' I know these prayers and the wisdom from Mya's stories will heal, deliver, and help to flourish the friendships of many girls and women who read this book."Adreeonah Mundy, LPC, NCC (Licensed Professional)
