Have we forgotten how to pray? Have we forgotten the purpose of prayer? There is a huge need to rediscover prayer--to rediscover the genius of the greatest template ever presented to mankind: the Lord's Prayer. Why? Because Jesus is the ultimate teacher, who brings us back to the basics and coaches us in praying the Lord's will--not ours.

This book will encourage the reader to confidently pray God's will, not theirs. Meditating on the Lord's Prayer will lead the reader from a frustrating exercise in wish fulfillment to faith in the Lord's sovereignty that God does what is best.

Prayer as a means to instant gratification or a pleading for a cause will yield to prayer as an expression of partnership with the Lord, providing a calm sense of spiritual security. Those who pray will be secure in the knowledge that the Lord's will is being done.

James Cantelon's reaffirming of the power of the Lord's Prayer is informed by more than fifty years of Christian ministry, researching the scriptures, and ministering to the needy and spiritually insecure. His perspective is informed by four decades of praying with various and foreign cultures (Israel, many African nations, and India).
