    About this ebook

    Prayer—It's mysterious, challenging, frustrating. . . and life-changing. Discover why growing in prayer, which sometimes can be compared to a battle, is worth every ounce of effort you give it. Even if you've never prayed, or if you've never developed the habit of daily prayer, God is waiting to meet you where you are and encourage you every step of the way.

      Excellent book that can be read in a day. Excellent insight on prayer and an excellent method of prayer. This method is adaptable and easy to learn. It takes practice, though, and commitment. After reading this book, you will feel recharged and positive about beginning (or restarting) your prayer practice. Contrast this method of prayer with the New Age “empty your mind” meditation and you will see the clear advantage Christian prayer has over it. And feel free to dive right in! Lovely book, lovely prayer. Highly recommend.

      This book came to me directly from the Holy Spirit as I was struggling with the unrest and powerful distractions of evil surrounding me. This book is the most powerful book I’ve read since the Bible itself and I’ve read hundreds of books of hundreds of authors.
      I’m soooo very grateful today a 75 page book just changed the rest of my life ??+++??

    FOREWORD

    Prayer is difficult, joyful, challenging, and life-changing. The journey into prayer, into the heart of God, is the reason we were made; it is the reason God brought us into existence.

    You have a defining moment before you on this journey. What you are about to read is clear, powerful, and applicable to every Catholic who knows there is something more to life; every Catholic whose heart yearns for something more; every Catholic who wants to know God better.

    This defining moment exists because God has brought this book to you. He is reaching out to you again, seeking to draw you near. If you answer the call with all that you are, God will match your commitment, and he will not only meet you where you are, he will take you to a place that you never knew existed, a place where two hearts—God’s and yours—beat as one.

    This place, this journey, this battle is worth every ounce of effort you can give it. It is worth everything you own, everything you aspire to be, everything you are. If you commit, persevere, and embrace this journey, you will know the life that Jesus has promised, a life of peace and joy that cannot be taken away by the trials of this world.

    Lean in, persevere, learn, practice, fight, embrace, rejoice— God is with you on this journey of prayer.

    Matthew Kelly

    Some time ago my youngest brother, who is a bit baffled by my faith, asked me an important question: Dan, do you pray every day?

    I replied, Yes.

    He asked, "Every, every day?"

    Again I said, Yes.

    He then asked again but with an emphasis in his tone that reflected some measure of disbelief and a demand for an absolutely honest answer. "Every, every, every day?"

    A light went on in my head, and I realized what he was really asking me. Dennis, you don’t understand—I don’t pray because I am holy; I pray because I am not. I continued, "I am not capable of living a life without God. This is why I pray every, every, every day."

    The idea of my own incapacity to live even a single day without prayer is not new or unique to me. One of the most oft-quoted sayings in the history of Christianity is St. Augustine’s line in his Confessions, … our heart is restless until it rests in you. The reason this is cited so often, even more than a thousand years after it
