Bitesize Beliefs : Purposeful Prayer
32pp Full Colour throughout
I guess very few of us would claim our prayer life is as we’d like it to be and many of us have hang-ups about when, where and for how long we should pray.
Prayer isn’t a ’blank cheque’ – God has ordained certain principles we should take on board. ’PURPOSEFUL PRAYER’ isn’t designed to be an exposition on why prayer is essential in a Christian’s life. Its aim is to provide helpful hints and tips designed to enhance how, and for what, we pray.
This accessible resource looks specifically at how using Scripture in prayer helps navigate life’s demanding and ever-changing challenges. There’s a massive difference between someone who knows about prayer and someone who actually prays!
Committing our ’ways and days’ to God in prayer is an amazing privilege. If we consciously took the time to do so, it would make an amazing difference to our lives and those of the people with whom we interact.

Ten years ago I first published 'the 'Community Prayer Diary', 30,000 copies across the UK. The heart was simple, how do we pray for those people who make our community work ? From Doctors to Dentists, Police Officers to Council Leaders, From Farmers to Pastors, those offering to counsel to those dealing with abuse in the home. We interact and benefit from the roles people play in our community every day.
If we take 1 Timothy 2:1-2 seriously, we should 'Pray for those in Authority'. This Prayer Guide will help you do just that. You'll be able to record the names of people in key positions in your community and pray for them through the week, without forgetting anyone. Even better as you find out who they are, you'll have the opportunity to gently let them know they are being prayed for.
There's also some teaching on Prayer Walking and a lovely reference section of praying scripture at the back.
It's an ideal resource for everyone in the local Church to pray effectively for everyone doing something important in the community around them.
