Letter from Dr. David Jeremiah -- How Jesus taught me to pray
Good morning Friend,
This is personal, but I want to share with you:
Although I have prayed since childhood, my praying habits have changed a great deal over the years. There is something different about my praying these days—and it is not hard at all to identify the reason for the change.
Several years ago, I battled health challenges and very quickly prayer took on a new meaning for me. I discovered a dimension to prayer that I had never known before.
You might say Jesus enrolled me in His intensive course on prayer—and I became an eager learner!
And what lesson struck home with the most force?
I discovered something that had been true all along, even though I had not thought much about it: I was helpless without God!
For a go-getter, type A, driven person (like me), prayer is the most difficult thing of all because it flies in the face of our frantic efforts to prove that we are self-sufficient, independent, and strong. As one wise individual put it, "Christianity is fundamentally convalescence."
The fears and desperation which forced me to my knees taught me to cry out to God as never before. And do you know what? He heard! He answered!
He delivered me from all my fears—and He desires to do the same for you.
Today, I want to share more of my own very personal journey to a richer, deeper, more effective prayer life—and help you begin your own great prayer adventure with God—by sending a Prayer Pack with two tremendous resources:
