Today’s Prayer
Author: Stephen Kyeyune
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1728312698
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
This book is written to all kinds of people because all of us need to pray. Praying means asking. None of us is exempted from praying because we are all dependants in one way or another. Everything that is not God depends on God. We are inadequate because there is no time we don’t have expectations to meet. We have shared human desires. For example, everyone needs to be loved. We are all exclusively dependants on God because the desires of the human heart can only be found in the Lord. Trying to fix things apart from God is the recipe of failure. Praying is the greatest fellowship with God. We pray to the ‘all-sufficient’ God because we are insufficient by ourselves. Humanity with all human resources cannot save or fulfill itself. Our desires are endless and are constantly changing. For example, our eyes are never satisfied with seeing; we always want to see something new. Our ears are never satisfied with hearing; we always want to hear the current news. Likewise, the soul is never tired of yearning for the transcendent. People take different avenues when seeking for fulfillment but only those who have discovered the power of prayer experience true fulfillment. We are called to pray unceasingly because there is constantly a feeling of emptiness when we do not communicate with God. Emptiness is the reality of the void that colonized the heart, which was once a sacred space occupied by the Divine. Praying is to be intimate with God; it is having God’s ear and eye in order to see the earthly things from the heavenly perspective.

Why eating the foods God has ordained for our use is better not just for our bodies, but for the animals and for the earth. You may think you know what the Word of Wisdom says, but you’ll be amazed at what you have missed. Learn why Mormons all over the world are “waking up” to the Word of Wisdom!
