Description

Have you ever questioned if you are worthy to approach God or wondered if God truly wants to hear from you God's answer to each of us is the same: "You are My child. Come, talk to Me." The collection of prayers in Whatever We Ask: Prayers upon Our Return are a testimony to the faithfulness of our Creator, despite our failures and failings, despite how far we may have fallen. Through these prayers, we are restored to a right relationship with our Creator, our Savior, and our brothers and sisters in Christ.Organized according to specific themes for spiritual growth and reconciliation, each prayer has seven thoughtsone for each day of that week. The prayers in the first section, "Recentering: A Return to the Heart," praise the goodness of God and bring us to our knees at the Cross where we were set free. In the second section, "Recommitting: A Return to Life," the prayers challenge us to recommit ourselves to living as faithful Christians, walking in the footsteps of the Risen Savior. In "Reconnecting: A Return to Fellowship," we reinvest in fellowship with other Christians and pray together for our Creator to make us unified, Jesus-focused, Spirit-filled, and faithful messengers of the good news of Jesus Christ.God hears our prayers and sends the Spirit to work within us. With God's grace as our center, we live in celebration of the goodness of our Creator and our freedom in the Savior. Standing in the Empty Tomb, we rejoice to be new creations, strong in faith and generous in love. Locking hands with our brothers and sisters, we become again a part of the Body of Christ and are fully reconciled as children of God, co-heirs of the promise.
