Welcome!
The purpose of this website is to share the knowledge I've
gained through years of petitioning God and getting 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 reading 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 in 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 great peace and deep 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.
