Life-Changing Prayers - A Seven-Day YouVersion by Michael Youssef. God loves using ordinary people like you and me in extraordinary ways. But there’s one factor that makes God’s “ordinary heroes” stand out: they are people of prayer. In the days ahead, we’re going to listen in on seven simple, life-changing prayers from ordinary heroes of the Bible. Once we learn to pray as these men and women prayed, our lives and our world will never be the same. 

If you’re struggling—emotionally, physically, relationally, or spiritually—or walking with someone who is, this seven-day study will be a balm to your weary soul. Looking at the lives of David, Hannah, Jeremiah, and other biblical lamenters, you will discover the power of God’s presence with you in your heartache. God speaks a better word and sings a louder song than the noise of your pain and suffering.

We’re not perfect. In fact, we mess up on a regular basis. How can we be certain of salvation or even pleasing God if we continue to fall short so often? This plan reminds us that we don’t have to FIND God... because He isn’t lost or hiding. Rather, He pursues us and is right there when we choose to look.

It's often easy for us to beat up on Jonah for his self-centered, foolish rebellion. But as we'll discover, there's a bit of Jonah in all of us. Overcome by self-centeredness and personal prejudices, we too sometimes resist God's call. Thankfully, when we act like Jonah, God acts like God—lovingly pursuing us with his unrelenting grace. It's a wild ride, but one you don't want to miss!
