Essence of Prayer

Often, when Christians talk about prayer, they seem to have in mind something that they themselves must do. But, seen in that way, prayer confronts us with questions, problems, confusion and discouragement. Ruth Burrows is convinced of the importance of correcting this view. Faith, she insists, assures us that prayer is essentially what God does, how God addresses and looks at us. And what God is doing for us in prayer is nothing other than to give us God's very Self in love. At its simplest, we do not look for success in prayer to provide us with the reassurance we crave. Rather, we hand ourselves over to divine Love and find all the reassurance we need in living, not for ourselves, but for God.Burrows, Ruth is the author of 'Essence of Prayer', published 2006 under ISBN 9781587680397 and ISBN 1587680394.
