When We Pray Like Jesus: Courageously Honest and Fearlessly Abandoned before God. This item is unavailable.When We Pray Like Jesus: Courageously Honest and Fearlessly Abandoned before God

You can be totally honest with God.

He wants to know exactly how you feel. When We Pray Like Jesus will help you express your deepest emotions to God and have confidence in His will for your life. You’ll explore Jesus’s prayer in the garden of Gethsemane and see His ultimate example of intimacy with the Father. Learn how to trust God the same way Jesus did when He said, "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42).

Even as a popular Christian author, speaker, and media host, Elisa Morgan struggled with what to pray—Could she be honest about what she really wanted? Did she trust God enough to abandon her will for His? Did it have to be one or the other, or could it be both? And in that struggle between needing to be heard and desiring to follow the Father, she found the answer. Elisa shares her journey of growing closer to God and incorporates lessons from Scripture to help you find peace in your own prayer journey.

"Applying the two sides of prayer can move us deeper in dialogue with God," Elisa says. "On and on, deeper and deeper, further and further, we flow into oneness that reflects the unity Jesus enjoyed with his Father."

Experience the hope of praying with honesty, abandoning your will, and growing closer to God.
