This is a book for those who feel all their limbs are hanging over the fence. Some of these prayers were offered in a Sunday morning congregational setting. This accounts for the "we" and the "ours" used throughout the script. However, use of these pronouns is meant in every case to include the author. Prayers offered here are not guaranteed to offer success to those who wish to use them. They will open up space in the head for those who wish communion, fellowship and a closer relationship with God. When we offer them from the heart, God does meet us in our prayers. In that sense, prayers may be defined as living with God. No matter what a person needs help with, this book really. really gets to that issue and offers a prayer to help with that very problem It is as topical as can be, even having a prayer related to GLOBAL WARMING Literally all the issues that we may face in daily life's struggles are covered: DEPRESSION, ANGER, LONELINESS, ENCOURAGEMENT...WHATEVER YOU MAY NEED THERE IS A WAY TO CONNECT TO GOD AND ASK FOR HELP. The index serves as a table of contents to quickly reference the topics and prayer titles. We all need this book, especially in this time of great stress like this time seems to be all over the world.
