Welcome to thirty days of hope and possibility. Prayer changes things. People who pray make a difference. Take the prayers in this book and make them yours. Offer them to God. You can pray them for yourself, with a friend, or as a family. The purposes of God emerge as His people pray.
As you begin to let prayer have a new place in your life, begin to listen in new ways as well. God's thoughts will arrive in your life--through the words of a friend, the lyric of a song, a passage of Scripture, a still small voice. Prayer is the amazing privilege of a relationship with Almighty God. The goal of prayer is not the recruitment of God to do our bidding but a transformation within us that allows God's purposes to move forward.
