Synopsis

Prayer is the most essential gift for Christians because it's the path to an intimate relationship with God. Without the practice of a prayerful living, how do you find your moral compass? In Secretly and Often, author Victor Thomas unpacks why you need to pray and discusses the different forms of prayer to enrich your experiences of talking with God.

In this guide, Thomas encourages you to rethink what it is to talk to the creator, and he underscores how prayer is more than rattling off desperate petitions in times of crisis. As he discusses the different forms of prayer-petition and supplication, praise, thanksgiving, confession, and penitence-he answers a host of questions, including: Why is intercession so important? How does giving thanks transform your prayer life? Why does perspective influence petition?

Secretly and Often shares the message that intimacy with God is always first and foremost. It serves as the base for all the activity that takes place in the life of Christianity. Prayer is the only road to intimacy with God.
