Evans Shepherd Linda

Yet too often we don't know exactly what to say--so we say nothing.Drawing from her many popular books on prayer, Linda Evans Shepherd offers you a compact, giftable compilation of powerful prayers arranged by topic, so you can find the words to ask God for help, consolation, wisdom, and many other needs for yourself or others. Covering such concerns as stress, anxiety, hard times, illness, and much more, the prayers in this book will be the ones you turn to again and again as you walk through life with the ones you love.

Introduction
God Wants to Hear from You

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Whatever happens, give thanks, because it is God’s will in Christ Jesus that you do this.
1 Thessalonians 5:16–18
Imagine that you and a friend are crunching your way through a leaf-filled thicket crawling with hidden vipers. You whisper a prayer: “Lord, please protect us from the snakes.”
“Stop!” your friend cries. “You’re not praying in God’s will!”
“ What?! You think God wants us to step on a rattler?”
Your friend explains, “Don’t kid yourself. God’s way too busy to listen to our prayers, rattlesnakes or not.”
Could this be true?
Absolutely not. God loves to be invited into the details of our lives.
My prayer experiences with God have included long lists of prayer requests for earthshaking problems like tsunamis and world hunger, as well as problems that matter only to me. I go to him with my burdens because God cares for me as well as my concerns.
You might wonder, Why would he care to hear about my insignificant issues when he has huge issues to deal with, like world peace?
Simply put, God is a jealous God who does not like to be ignored. Not only does he want our attention, but he also wants to answer our prayers . Psalm 145:18–19 says, “The L ORD is near to everyone who prays
