    About this ebook

    Christians around the globe have easily repeated the Lord's Prayer and found it a source of comfort for generations. But in many situations, we would like to compose our own words. Not every Christian has a seminary education or years of experience praying in public. So, when the need to pray comes, many feel uncomfortable and cannot find the right words to say.
    Prayers 2 Pray is an electronic prayerbook for modern times. It allows Christians of diverse backgrounds to have prayers they can use at a moment's notice on their smart-phone or e-reader. This electronic prayerbook will be an easy to use portable resource that provides prayers for many different situations including meals, bedtime, praying for the sick and many other occasions..
    There are also calls to prayer and methods of using body movements with children (and adults) or using the anointing of oil with the sick.
    This is the first volume of Rev. Hicks' series on prayer and liturgical aids for the Christian who might be uncomfortable composing a prayer on the spur of the moment.

      Introduction

      Praying is an art that is learned from infancy. As we learn to form words, thoughts, ideas, and then communicate them to the ones we love, we are also learning how to pray.
