Kingdom Praying
philosopher Dallas Willard argues that Jesus is far more than a beloved but remote savior. The author speaks out compellingly for the relevance of God to every aspect of our daily existence. KINGDOM PRAYING Kingdom praying and its efficacy is entirely a matter of the innermost heart's being totally open and honest before God. It is a matter of what we are saying with our whole being, moving with resolute intent and clarity of mind into the flow of God's action. In apprenticeship to Jesus, this is one of the most important things we learn how to do. He teaches us how to be in prayer what we are in life and how to be in life what we are in prayer. - Dallas Willard, in THE DIVINE CONSPIRACY: REDISCOVERING OUR HIDDEN LIFE IN GOD, HarperSanFrancisco, 1998, Chapter 6, "Investing in the Heavens: Escaping the Deceptions of Reputation and Wealth," p. 195.
