Given the results of the midterm elections, and given the fact that large groups of American evangelical Christians seem to have changed voting patterns and abandoned Republican candidates, I'd nominate David Kuo's book, _Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction_.\n\nIt was on the NY Times Bestseller list the month before the elections, and even folks who don't read much heard about this book, since it got mass media coverage.

There are a few ingredients to the "prayer formula".  There is agreement:  Matthew 18:19 "Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven."  There is asking, and asking with the correct motives in mind:  James 4:2-3 "2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions."  Faith is the final key.  If you truly expect to receive what you ask, chances are you will.  God is not so callous as to reject your pleas entirely.  A.)  God never piles on more than we can handle, and B.)  God's will is a mystery we may hope to someday unravel, but right now have to deal with what we DO know.  Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."

First give thanks and praise.  Open your heart and be straight forward with your prayers.  Remember to pray for others.  God is pleased that you are even praying, that shows faith in itself.  Don't ramble about the same thing over and over.  He knows what you need and want.  Some people believe the more words they say the more chance of God answering your prayers.  That's not the truth.  He already knows.  Have faith that you don't need to repeat the same thing to him.  Also, remember that he will take care of you and answer your prayers.  Have faith when you pray!  God Bless!

God doesn't want to hear "canned" prayer but rather what is on your heart!  For prayer help, go to this link and check it out.

1.) Pray and tell others to pray\n2.) Try doing what pleases Him\n3.) Be in touch with good Christians, being influenced by them is a good thing\n4.) Read the Holy Bible even just the Bible stories so you will know how God is like\n5.) Bible study\n6.) Talk to God like how you talk with a friend. Tell Him how your day was. Try to get a ballpen or something you commonly use and treat it as a symbol that whenever you see it, you will tell God what happened in the day... sort of like a journal.\nGOD BLESS! I'LL PRAY FOR YOU!

Come on now!  You want to believe in prayer, but you find something as little as that  to turn away.  Have you ever lost a love one and you needed God to step in and keep you from losing your mind?  Well he did it for me!   Prayer does work!

Absolutely.  Prayer is nonsensical and completely ineffective.  Why would anyone think it worth praying for something to a god who (supposedly) always knows best?  Why would said god ever give someone what they pray for if it wasn't already what he wanted in the first place?

"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.\nGive us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.\nLead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen."\n\nIt's called the Lord's prayer, it was a guide given to us by Jesus to show us how to pray. For example, "our daily bread" could be praying for all the things we want and need from God.\n\nIf you ever want to look up a certain verse, biblegateway.com has a passage lookup or keyword search. =)

Add the rest of the words, and you have the best (and most life-changing and powerful) Prayer in all of Christian theology:\n\nThe Jesus Prayer:\n\n"Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner"

Wow, it is really nice to come across a husband that actually cares. I read a book a while back called The Power of a Praying wife by Stormie Omartian. It cover all sorts of issues including jobs. At the end of every chapter there is a pray for each topic. The good news is the author has also made a book for the husbands. The Power of a Praying Husband. The book really helped me out during some rough times. Hope this helps.

I found you some websites to read up on.\nMaybie you could go to some christian/catholic schools where they still have prayer and ask if you could interview students or teachers on how prayer has effected them at school.
