Strengthened by Prayer

About the Book

In her previous work, As The Deer Pants for Streams of Water, Michelle Addison Jones shared prayers and meditations based on her encounter with God through prayer. In this recent work, the author gives credence to the experience of discovering the reality of God’s divine presence through prayer. Strengthened by Prayer focuses on the process of prayer which leads the one who hungers and thirst, into holy communion with the Eternal God. However, this book comes with a forewarning not to perceive it as a magical formula, because the conscious reality of God’s abiding presence cannot be attained by the works of men; rather, it is accomplished by the precious Holy Spirit working in and through us; all the while, faithfully and triumphantly leading us all the way into prayer, “not by might nor power, but, by my Spirit says the Lord of host” (Zechariah 4:6). Thusly, this little book, was not designed in order to teach people how to pray; but, to assist with recognizing where you are in the process of prayer with hope that you do not give up on God when you do not hear his voice; rather, that you would do all to press into his presence until you have discovered that sacred place to incline your head upon his breast.
