Great Points from “Before Amen” by Max Lucado

I’m reading this book and I love it! I was hesitant to read yet another book on prayer. But this one is revolutionary in its simplicity! Here are a couple notes that stood out:

1. Prayer can be the internal voice that directs the external actions.

2. We speak. He listens. He speaks. We listen. This is prayer in its purest form. God changes his people through such moments.

3. The one who hears your prayers is your Daddy. You needn’t woo him with location.

And this one brought such freedom…..

4. Just as a happy child cannot mis-hug, the sincere heart cannot mis-pray. Heaven knows, life has enough burdens without the burden of praying correctly!

5. Confession, you see, is not a punishment for sin; it is an isolation of sin so it can be exposed and extracted.

If you’ve been intimidated by prayer – this book is for you.  Max Lucado is brilliant!
