Prayer is one of the most powerful ways to experience the love, power, and grace of God. The best characteristic of prayer is that you can do it anytime, anywhere, and regardless of whether you're poor or rich. Prayer is a totally free resource that is available to anybody who believes, just as it is easy to get ample sunlight and air by simply going outdoors.

But many people find prayer to be like rocket science subjects such as stochastic calculus, theoretical physics, and econometrics. Why?

Do research on the word prayer on Google or other search engines, and you'll find a plethora of definitions, many of which contradict each other. For example, many believe that the power of prayer lies in the specific words used, such as Latin, as evidenced by it being used in what is often called "high masses." But there are many who believe that it is not the language or the words per se but the faith behind them.

Another example of conflicting beliefs about prayer pertains to its efficacy. Many believe that if you pray the right way, i.e., using a formula or a template, God is sure to hear your prayers by granting exactly what you ask for. Others believe otherwise, saying that our prayer requests are down to God's will at the end of the day.

So, if you want to start learning how to pray the right way, according to God's will, we'll look no further than what his only begotten son Jesus Christ has to say about it. That will be the main principle upon which this entire book will be anchored. If Jesus Christ says so, then it is the truth. By the end of this book, you will be in a very good position to start praying as Jesus did.

The Bible, literally translated, means a collection of books. That is why if you actually read it, you will find a myriad number of

sections or books. From Genesis to Revelation, each book in the

Bible conveys different types of messages for its readers.

The books in the Bible consist of different genres. These include:

• Narrative or Historical • Poetry • Wisdom Literature • Prophecy • Gospels • Epistles • Apocalypse
