Have you ever wondered how prayer works? Have you ever wished you were better at praying? Have you ever been at a loss for words to pray? This is not a book that attempts to answer all your questions on prayer. On the contrary, the author acknowledges upfront that prayer is a mystery for which there is no magic formula. There are Biblical principles that teach much about prayer, and God's spiritual spokespersons have offered insight. But God is God, and prayer is in the realm of His unfathomable ways and workings. Rather, this is a book that invites you to come alongside the author and delve into the practice of prayer. It contains reflections on varied prayer matters that are based on exploring principles about prayer and trying various ways to pray. It is the fruit of the author's entreating God to teach her to pray. Since much of this entreating occurred while walking with her son through his cancer battle and now as she grieves his passing, the author's insights are presented as one questioning pilgrim desiring to help another. The book's premise is that we do not have to understand prayer to pray. We learn to pray by praying. The more we pray, the more natural praying therefore becomes. Hence, suggestions and tools are offered to facilitate praying. Whether you are relatively experienced with prayer, brand new, or somewhere in between, you are invited to ponder these prayer matters and to implement those suggestions for "doing prayer" that appeal to you. Because, ultimately, while we may not know the intricate workings of prayer this side of Heaven, one thing we do know is … Prayer Matters!

Autorenporträt
Marilyn Wragg is an educator by profession and a teacher at heart. It has always been her desire to share with others helpful things she learns. Because writing extends that desire to a broader audience, she likewise loves to write. She was blessed in the last 20 years of her "paid career" to work with educators to develop Family and Consumer Sciences public school curriculum. But it was after retirement, while volunteering in church prayer and care ministries, that she discerned what helpful things personally to share in books-life lessons imparted as God led her through hard seasons. Her first book, "Prayer Matters: Reflections and Suggestions for Doing Prayer," stems from church newsletter articles that were written during her son's cancer battle and subsequent passing. It presents simple and practical practices that many attest to enriching their prayer lives. An accompanying Study Guide and Journal affords opportunity to delve more deeply, either individually or with a support group.Her second book, "Summer of the Ladybugs: Early Seasons of Grief," encourages fellow climbers who are grieving, with special emphasis on getting through those difficult early seasons, which are filled with so many tender "firsts." A bonus section within the book provides questions for further reflection or discussion. Marilyn Wragg lives in Lubbock, Texas, with her husband, Mike, where they are actively involved in church life and ministries. They are blessed in their immediate earthly family with a married daughter and son-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and three beloved grandchildren, as well as their son, who now resides in Heaven.
