About this title

Synopsis

Find focus and purpose in your daily prayer with a time-tested guide that explores why secret prayer matters and how to deepen it.

This edition invites readers to consider the inner life of faith, showing how quiet, persistent conversation with God can transform worry into trust and action into praise.

The book gathers practical reflections on praying with honesty: using arguments drawn from Scripture, offering intense emotions, and staying steady in effort. It blends biblical examples with later reflections on how secret prayer shapes daily living and spiritual growth.

• Learn how to structure prayers that arise from genuine need, hope, and humility.
• Explore the role of perseverance, tears, and heartfelt petitions in drawing nearer to God.
• See how secret devotion can guard against temptation and enrich public life and gratitude.
• Discover how contemplative moments can become a steady source of comfort, strength, and insight.

Ideal for readers seeking a devotional that anchors prayer in daily life and personal honesty.

About the Author

Thomas Watson is a poet, writing since age ten, and a young Christian at the age of sixty-three. Retired from the Air Force and currently employed as a County Legal Clerk, Thomas enjoys his new found love for Christ in his writings and through the fellowship of his friends at Valley Baptist Church of San Rafael, California. He has been blessed with a step-daughter, two grand daughters, and three great grandchildren who, though distant in miles, are always close in his heart. He also has a sister who knew the secret of the mighty love of Christ as a child, and has shared it with those she has known through her compassion and beautiful heart. Professing that the words he writes belong to God, Thomas enjoys reading to the congregation an occasional poem, wishing to glorify Him. Tom currently lives in Novato, California, with his dog, Tippie.
