In writing Enjoy your prayer life, Theologian Michael Reeves has given the church an immensely helpful booklet on prayer. This booklet is not a “how-to” manual for prayer, or “tips and tricks” for a more fulfilling prayer life. This booklet is a theologically rich explanation of what prayer is, and what is happening when we do pray.
Reeve’s contention is that we grow in prayer, not when we’ve figured out the right “system,” but when we understand the reality that the Father is our Father who cares for us and wants to hear us. The Son shares his communion with the Father with us and the Spirit brings us into the fellowship of the Father and Son. When we move from viewing prayer as an abstract activity, to instead embrace what the Bible teaches, we will truly, “Enjoy our prayer life.”
