For most Christians, prayer is an important part of their spiritual journey. It is how they experience God’s purpose for their lives. It is also an area that many Christians want to improve.

Authors Stephen and Michele Rummage believe that Christians are called to pray without ceasing. But even more than that, believers are called to pray with purpose. We are to live and breathe in an atmosphere of prayer.

This 28-day journey is designed to teach believers how to have unceasing, focused prayer lives. Each daily reading is short and includes suggested Scripture readings and a prayer guide. Weekly lessons focus on

• Jesus’ prayer life
• Hannah’s prayer of desperation
• David’s prayer for restoration
• The Lord’s Prayer

May God bless you richly as you begin your journey of purposeful prayer!
