PRAYER COACH BY JIM NICODEM
"Do you wish you were a better prayer?" Pose this question to any believer and the answer would likely be a resounding "yes!" While a strong prayer life is the desire of many believers, the reality is often difficult to come by.
In Prayer Coach, James L. Nicodem begins with a frank discussion about the obstacles of prayer and then offers practical suggestions and basic principles on how a reader can strengthen his or her prayer life and bring depth to this spiritual discipline. As readers apply the methods taught in this book, they will learn to approach the throne of God with passion, fervency, and confidence.
FOLLOW OUR DAILY BIBLE-READING PLAN
The Bible Savvy reading plan has been put together thoughtfully so that the length and order of the readings make sense. The schedule works through a book five days a week with a Psalm or Proverb on the weekends.

A Blessing
"Remember this:
God loves you
More than you could ever imagine.
He loves you with a love that has no beginning and no ending.
It is a love you do not have to earn and you could never lose.
It doesn’t matter if you feel like a success or a failure. God loves you.
It doesn’t matter if you feel alone or surrounded by friends. God loves you.
It doesn't matter if you are righteous or guilty. God loves you.
God loves you enough to send his Son
to live for you, and die for you, and be raised for you,
and even right now Jesus is before the Father, speaking words of love on your behalf, and he will return to renew you and all of creation because he loves you.
This is the most true thing about you: you are loved by God.
Before anything else can be said about you, this must be said:
God loves you and that will never change.
So don’t forget it."
