If you are interested in building a relationship with God through prayer, the audio CD The Power of Simple Prayer will act as a great guide. Joyce Meyer offers this guide on simple prayer that is laced with scriptural wisdom. If honest and heartfelt prayer is a new idea for you, you will also benefit greatly from this audio CD. The information is presented in a no-nonsense way that is greatly encouraging. The main purpose of this work is to encourage people to feel comfortable talking to God in their everyday lives.

Meyer starts out by telling us that God wants to hear from us and that we should speak to God honestly and from the heart. She also encourages us to be bold in our communications with God and to believe it is everyone’s right to communicate with God. She wants us to understand that we can improve our lives and attitudes through frequent conversations with God and encourages us to be persistent in our prayers and to believe that God will help us in the right time. This is all good advice. So many times, prayer and having a relationship with God are so formalized that we may be mouthing the words of prayer while our mind is on something else.

The information is divided into five main prayer categories: Praise, Worship and Thanksgiving; Consecration and Commitment; Petition and Perseverance; Intercession; and Prayers of Agreement. Scriptures and the words of Jesus emphasize the lessons about prayer mixed with Meyer's commonsense style of communication. This blend provides a truly helpful and comforting message about prayer and the importance of communicating with God.

This practical guide is suitable for people of all ages. Listening to the CD allows you to share the learning experience with family and friends. The only thing that could be desired with this audio CD would be a guide to what is on each of the five CDs in the package. Other than that, it is enjoyable to hear the wisdom and be encouraged to build a relationship with God for a better life. A person who already enjoys honest communication with God will be able to find inspiration and greater understanding of prayer through this guide.
