Publisher Description
" When we turn our whole hearts to Him, calling out with our desperate needs, knowing He will meet us, He does. We simply come to Him, believing that He is. "And we are irresistible to Him." Think about it. When you come to your Heavenly Father in prayer you are irresistible to Him. Why? Because He longs to hear from you and build a relationship with you through prayer. But just like any relationship, your prayer life can either flourish or fade away. In the heart of every growing believer there should be a desperate cry for more of God--whether it's to understand who He is or to be more effective for Him. In "Desperate for God, Nancie Carmichael compares the development of prayer to four stages of life: infancy, youth, mid-life, and maturity. Each step along the way is defined by a different need for God--with each need drawing you closer and deeper into His heart. As you grow, you will discover the joy of praying according to His will, the practical applications of a consistent, daily prayer life, and the peace and confidence of a close relationship with Him. We each come to Him with different cries of desperation, but how blessed we are when we know our need of Him. For that is the heart of prayer. Whether you are new in your faith or have walked with the Lord for years, the cry of your heart for more of Him is one He always longs to answer. By trusting that He is there, desiring to meet your needs, you have reached the place where prayer begins. Within these warmly written pages, you'll learn what captures your heart and determines how you pray. With practical tips for continued growth, you'll discover the power, peace, and strength that come fromprayer--from simply being available to the One who longs to care for you.
