Prayer has always been an integral part of author Rev. James E. Holders life. But while he was growing up, he observed that prayers had a predictable pattern and were pretty much routine recitations. This was troubling for him, a young man growing into a pastoral ministry. So, he tried writing some prayerswhich became a regular thing for him. And in his newly released book, Prayers from the Heart, he shares some of these prayers so others, even the young pastors, can use this as a guide or plan for their own prayer momentsand experience the blessing of talking and being with God.
Divided into different chapters, from church prayers to selected prayers for occasions and professions, these beautiful Prayers from the Heart offer readers a chance to discover the wonderful feeling of writing and saying their own prayers. Because prayer is a way to communicate with God, it should bear meaning to the person praying. There should be truth, honesty, and faith in every word prayed and said.
Rev. Holder hopes that with this collection of prayers, readers will find some ideas and help on how to pray from the heart. Others would probably approach this subject differently but if this challenges you to think thats all Im asking for, anyway. This book goes out with my sincere prayer that all who might read it would find the way to satisfy that deep yearning to pray and to receive the very real sense that you have talked with the Heavenly Father about those things that are most important to you, the author prays.
