The Bible has long said that prayer is a powerful weapon, and, now, modern science is finally catching up with God's Word! Researchers from Baylor University found that people who pray are less likely to experience anxiety-related disorders--worry, fear, self-consciousness, social anxiety and obsessive compulsive behavior. 
As believers in God, I think we instinctively know there is tremendous power in prayer. Most of us long to pray and connect with our Creator. However, when we get right down to it, we just don't know what to say. Our tongues get tied, our minds get cluttered, our emotions overwhelm, and we feel lost. If this is you, then let this book be an aid in your times of prayer. 
This book is not meant to be a rote prayer book where you recite these same words again and again. No, it is designed as a starting point, a place for you to begin a mighty prayer life. Using over fifty different names for God, along with over two hundred Scripture references, let this book instill in you a passion to pray and pray boldly. 
Believe that the Holy Spirit will use the prayers written here to spur the prayers you will write and use for years to come.

From the Inside Flap:

SAMPLE PRAYEREl Shaddai, God Almighty, I am full of praise because I know that those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary.They will walk and not faint.* Because of this, I trust that when I go through deep waters, Your power will hold me up. When I go through rivers of difficulty, Your greatness will keep me from drowning. And when I walk through the fires of oppression, Your unfailing love will keep the flames at bay so that I am not consumed.*
 
Lord,even so, I know that the devil is a strong adversary, and he prowls around like a roaring lion looking for prey to devour.* I am not strong enough to fight off his temptations and his lures, so I pray for You to give power to the weak and strength to the powerless.* Enable me to scale any wall and crush any enemy.* Come, El Shaddai, and from Your glorious,unlimited resources empower me with inner strength through Your Spirit* and let me always believe I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength.*
