About this book

Prayer is difficult, and many people neglect it except during crises or routine moments like meals. This prayerlessness can result in spiritual distress, fear, anxiety, joylessness, and depression. A Praying Life is a prayer guide designed to help Christians develop a vibrant prayer life and learn to pray faithfully and courageously. The book frames prayer as a daily conversation with God and a means of deepening connection to Him. The book addresses practical topics including how to handle unanswered prayers, starting a prayer journal, and whether prayer makes a difference. This updated and expanded edition includes new chapters on prayers of lament and guidance for using prayer cards. Miller encourages readers to develop prayer habits and approaches that foster hope, trust, and expectation in God's action, helping them return to childlike faith and experience spiritual growth.
