Could You Not Tarry One Hour?

Description for COULD YOU NOT TARRY ONE HOUR? LEARNING THE JOY OF PRAYER by Larry Lea: Do you find prayer a drudgery or a delight? Larry Lea says that most Christians he speaks with find prayer more difficult than pleasant. But this does not have to be so. Lea has found that prayer can be a pleasure and we can learn how to enjoy it. We can get from drudgery in prayer to delight, but to get there we must go through a stage that many Christians miss---discipline. Lea discovered this truth in the midst of a personal crisis. Discouraged and depressed about not having clear direction for his life, Lea came to God in prayer, seeking His will. He sensed God drawing him to read a passage from the Gospel Of Matthew. It was the familiar text of the Lord's Prayer (Matt. 6:9-13). The Lord seemed to say, "Pray these words." A little dumfounded at being asked to pray the most common prayer of all, Lea quickly did as directed. Then in his heart Lea heard the Lord say, "Pray it 'real' slow." As he responded to God's leading, Lea found himself wrapped in the Lord's presence. He discovered that each phrase of the Lord's Prayer was a plank in an outline for worship. He also learned that using this pattern enabled him to draw closer to God, plunging deeper in prayer than ever before. God transformed his times of drudgery into times of joyful prayer. In COULD YOU NOT TARRY ONE HOUR? Larry Lea presents his teaching and experience on personal prayer. Here you will learn how to spend a long daily period praying and find joy in it. Here you will discover a way of entering the Lord's presence that will change your life. The more you learn to "tarry one hour", the more you will grow in likeness to Christ and the more you will be able to bring his timeless message to a world in pain.
