Forever Prayer is the story of one man's search for understanding the essential nature of prayer. The conclusion is that our thoughts reveal who we really are and what we truly desire--and God is keenly aware all the time of all our thoughts. That makes us forever at prayer because God is always listening in on our thoughts. If we can believe this, and become aware that we are always at prayer, our lives will become more in tune with God's presence and desires as revealed to us in his Word. Forever Prayer will enlighten and renew your thinking about prayer. Have you ever considered your thoughts being known to God? That would mean you are always at prayer because God would always know your desires at all times. It would also make it very important to maintain good thoughts that please God. Also, good behavior would be expected to follow. Of course, you would have to know what pleases God and that would mean having a knowledge of the Bible which contains God's desires for your life.
