Welcome!
The purpose of this website is to share the knowledge I've
gained through years of petitioning God and getting a rather
remarkable percentage of those petitions granted. I'm in the
process of writing a book, Petitioning God: What I Really
Had to Do to Get My Prayers Answered. While the site isn't
meant to be a substitute for the book, I hope the tips and
suggestions here will help you out. Also, you can write me
with your spiritual problems and questions, and I'll be happy to
suggest solutions based on my own experiences carrying on a
dialogue with the Almighty.
A Bit of Background
Ever since God revealed him- or her- or itself to me at a
junior-high Bible study when I was going on fifteen, I've been
experimenting with ways to get him or her or it to answer my
prayers. That makes well over three decades of experience,
and now I'd like to share what I've learned with anyone who's
interested. (What's more, if you try it, you'll find that personal
communication with the Living God (the God of love) not
only gets results but also brings deep peace and joy.)
Is It Christian???
YES. My relationship with God began in a Christian setting,
and the basics of what I've learned about getting requests
granted come straight from the New Testament, especially
Jesus' teaching that we must forgive others if we want God
to answer our prayers. And learning to "love thy neighbor" is
absolutely essential to the whole project.
HOWEVER, while I am very definitely Christian, I have
never seen any reason to exclude other paths to
enlightenment. Petitioning God thus makes use of many
other traditions of spirituality and psychology in addition to
Christianity. Jesus came to teach us that God is love, so
wherever love rules, Petitioning God is right at home.
