Expanding the horizon from the physical life to the spiritual world
Prayer Upgrade!

The second book in the [Follow-Up Prayer] series, which opened the door to prayer for those who didn't know how to pray.

After the publication of "Follow the Prayer," many people shared their own prayers and the changes they experienced in their lives through reviews and comments.
People who didn't know what to pray for, people who had lost the strength to pray in the face of life's hardships, started by listening to and reading the prayers, saying, "I also say Amen," and gradually moved on to their own prayers. This led to confessions that their prayers had changed and their lives had changed.
In the second book of "Follow the Prayer," the author briefly introduces the stories of these readers, sharing that his own life was transformed through these prayers, and earnestly encourages and urges readers to join him in this prayer of faith.

The younger you are, the more likely you are to only talk about yourself and what you want to say.
Prayer, which is a conversation with God, is the same.
There are still many new believers who find it difficult to just cry for milk or a diaper change.
Such people should ask more freely, receive many answers, and build up their trust in God.
However, if we have reached a stage where we can look around us little by little and understand God's heart even a little, let us expand and upgrade the scope of our prayers from the physical life to the world of the heart, the spiritual world, and the level of loving our neighbors and interceding.

Christianity is a religion of the ‘Word.’
As recorded countless times in the Bible, when God speaks, it comes true.
As your faith grows, you will move towards mature prayer, but following mature prayer will also help your faith grow at some point.
Just like the confessions of countless readers who followed along with a desire to pray even though they didn't know much, just following along became a prayer, opened the door to life, and led to repentance.

Lord, I will humble my heart.
I will live a humble life until the end.
I will live a simple life.
Material things are not my desire.
My hope is in God, who gives us everything and lets us enjoy it.
Material things cannot be the masters of my life.
Only God, who rules over all things, is the master of my life.

---From “A Prayer for Material Blessings”

Lord, I resolve not to let anyone ruin my day by making me angry.
Please give me the wisdom to appropriately ignore and not pay attention to people who make me angry.
Give me the wisdom to run away from anything that makes me angry.
Also, please give me a heart that can feel pity for those who make me angry.
---From “A Prayer to Control Anger”

Lord, give me the courage to face the old wounds of my heart.
Help me to accept myself as I am, even though I am not perfect.
Please give me the faith to accept even the incomprehensible things and situations that I cannot understand.
From now on, I will choose my thoughts instead of thinking randomly.
Instead of being driven by negative emotions, I will choose to live with positive emotions.

---From “A Prayer to Control a Depressed Heart”

Lord, I am on my knees to pray at this hour, but God feels so far away and my lips do not open easily to pray.
I don't know what to say and I'm at a loss as to how to begin praying.
I pray to the Lord that while I pray this prayer, all distracting thoughts will disappear, my lips will open in prayer, and I will be filled with the spirit of prayer.

---From "Prayer When Prayer Doesn't Work"

The reason I can entrust my life to the Lord is because I know His heart.
The Lord's plan is always to bring peace to my life, and His will is to lead me to a place filled with hope.
Because the Lord guides my life, I can be steadfast in any situation.
No matter how much the enemy tries to destroy me, I am safe because the Lord turns everything to good.

---From “A Prayer for God’s Guidance”

Lord, please help me, as a parent, to become more mature so that my children do not feel resentment, so that anger does not seep into their hearts, so that they do not lose their will to live, and so that they do not become confused about what is right.
Please help me to raise my children according to biblical principles, without being emotionally attached to them.

---From “Prayer for Child Rearing”

Lord, there are so many temptations on the journey of ministry.
There is a temptation to trust in money more than in God, to enjoy pleasures without God rather than the joys He gives, and to be more concerned with the approval of others than with the approval of God.
Please protect our beloved pastor from all that has become an idol in our hearts.
There is no way to overcome this temptation except through the Word and prayer.
Lord, please protect our beloved pastor with your Holy Spirit.

---From “Prayer for Pastors”

Lord, if you talk about holiness, you become a laughing stock, and if you talk about purity, you become a laughing stock.
If you live a separate life, you will be treated like a fool.
But Lord, I will walk this path.
No matter how much the order of values ​​collapses, I will live a life that pursues holiness.
Even though I have fallen countless times, I will get up again and dream of a holy life.
I will never give up, even when it seems like a fight I can't win.

---From “A Prayer to Seek God’s Will”
