When You Pray: Trust, Surrender, and the Transformation of Your Soul

Do you ever hear Catholics talk about prayer but feel like you cant relate? You know prayer is important, but you still find it challenging. Perhaps its hard to find time to pray, or youre unsure what to do when you do pray. Or maybe you feel restless and distracted and dont feel close to God. You might struggle to trust God and surrender to his will. Or maybe you feel discouraged by your many weaknesses and your inability to overcome them. Ultimately, you worry that what youre doing in prayer isnt working, because you arent seeing major changes in your life. If you have any of these feelings, you are not alone. Many of the saints had similar ones. Even the saints struggled in prayer, had complicated problems, and made mistakes. They were like us. But each time they fell, they got up again and learned to rely more on Gods grace. And eventually they were changed. What God did in countless saints, he wants to do in ordinary people like us. And thats what this book is about: the journey God wants to take us on in our prayer life. Inspired by the real example of the saints, we will learn how to pray with the same consistency, trust, peace, and passion that led to deep transformation in their souls. When You Pray: A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship with God will help you begin your journey of prayer, rejuvenate your prayer life, and strengthen your relationship with God so that you can give God your entire heart.
