Discover Fresh Intimacy with Jesus and Wake Up to the Adventure of Following Him into Your World.
Can you relate?
You’ve tried praying, only to end up bored or discouraged of a rehearsed or shallow relationship with God.
You’re curious but don’t know where to start with prayer, maybe at a loss for words.
You enjoy going to church, but much of your spiritual life feels irrelevant to the world around you.
You know there is more.
Are you praying constricted prayers or disruptive ones? Most prayers are constricted, focusing only on self and envision God as a heavenly caretaker of our needs.
On the other hand, disruptive prayers are powerful, uncommon and deeply biblical—focusing on God rather than self and seeking to advance Christ’s kingdom. When we pray disruptive prayers, that's when the revolution begins
By building a personal habit of daily prayer, you will:
* Get to know Jesus in a fresh way
* Walk in greater dependence on the Holy Spirit
* Arm yourself and receive strength to follow Jesus and courage for the spiritual battle
• Call leaders to a bigger vision of prayer
• Prime leaders to mobilize prayer discipleship into each ministry
About Journey in Prayer
This book shows you how to equip leaders, fuel kingdom movements, and do real damage to the powers of darkness in the here and now. But most of all, discover how your own heart will be transformed as you begin to see how much bigger prayer, and God, is than you ever thought possible.
Each chapter of the study expands on the implications of the 7 petitions found within the prayer. By delving into a different petition daily, Journey In Prayer offers a practical and simple method for growing your personal prayer life.

Word on the Street
“Journey in Prayer is a wonderful and transformative book, both scholarly and practical. John Smed is a very effective communicator… I feel more resilient with a greater sense of spiritual resources and relationship to God, whom I now address as “Father.”
~Elizabeth, Doctor (seeker)
“I found your book Journey in Prayer very easy to read… It is refreshing, and may I say, different from other books which I have read on The Lord's Prayer. I have read it a few times, and it is most rewarding!”
~Mother
