Merit Prize, 2007 World Guild Religious Living E book Praying is an action. Praying is an action that is of the essence of Christian lifetime. It involves our beliefs, emotions, values, desires and concerns, certainties and uncertainties, knowledge and ignorance. As J. I. Packer and Carolyn Nystrom demonstrate, this reserve "is a heart-to-heart affair, in which two Christians who try to pray and wish they prayed better show thoughts in what they can be doing with people whom they envisage as being like themselves. . . . Our purpose is not only to clarify Religious understanding but to foster Religious living. In real praying, head, heart and hands go together." With intelligence, humility and sincerity the authors lead us through different moods of praying, including brooding, praising, requesting, complaining and clinging on. In Praying the authors offer hope for those folks who daydream when we try to listen to God and stumble when we try to speak. Yet they don't really just show us about prayer; they test and encourage us to do it by directing us to a clearer realization of the truth of God and his identity. Let Packer and Nystrom come alongside someone to encourage and guide your productive praying to your powerful God, and let him move your praying through mere work to delight.
