5 Things to Pray for Your World

We all know we should pray for the world. But where to start? 5 Things to Pray for Your World is a great option. It will expand the horizons of your prayers as well as shaping them by God's word. | From Jesus' disciples to Martin Luther's barber and beyond, "teach us to pray" has been a frequently heard heart-cry. But the truth is we can only really learn to pray by praying. Here 5 Things to Pray for your World will help you. It takes an old idea, tested and tried throughout the ages – a prayer list – and turns it into a thought-provoking, vision-expanding, prayer-stimulating tool. It is small enough to fit into your pocket, but big enough to change your life. Simple, but brilliant. | I loved Rachel's first two books and this third does not disappoint. Praying Scripture is liberating and exhilarating. Rachel's new book helps us to do that carefully, wisely and in a biblically focused way, without being constraining. The prayers I pray as a result are still very much my own. I will be using this superb resource both in my own devotions and in church life. | We live in a broken world. Many—in Britain and abroad—know nothing of Jesus or his saving work on the cross. Suffering and injustice can be seen at every turn. But there is hope—in this life and the next! 5 Things to Pray for Your World reminds us of God’s good plans and purposes for his creation, and encourages us to turn to him with requests that are in line with his will. This fantastic little book will enrich any prayer life and act as a great spur to mission near and far. A great resource for those who love to pray, and a wonderful guide for those who find prayer hard. | We watch the news, read articles, and hear stories about difficulties in our world. The needs are so massive, the stories so heartbreaking, that often we don’t even know how to pray. Rachel Jones’s excellent new book, 5 Things to Pray for Your World, offers a needed guide to seek God’s help by praying God’s Word. We may feel powerless, but we have the ear of an all-powerful God. May we faithfully cry out to him for the world around us. | Rachel Jones is the author of A Brief Theology of Periods (Yes, Really), Is This It? and several books in the award-winning Five Things to Pray series, and serves as Women's Ministry Lead at King's Church Chessington, in Surrey, UK.
