Live by prayer
Description
Book Introduction
This book is a prayer recovery guide that invites believers who are having difficulty in prayer to “live again through prayer” rather than telling them to “learn to pray again.”
Pastor Jae-Sang Jeong (senior pastor of High-Will Justice Church) focuses on the theme, "Prayer is not a skill, but a life." He follows the prayer scenes of 18 biblical figures, including Abraham, Hannah, David, Hezekiah, and Ezra, to demonstrate that prayer is not a mere duty or formality, but a personal relationship with God. "Living in Prayer" differs from simple prayer guides or testimony-centered devotionals.
Based on insights gained from spiritual theology and pastoral practice, the author guides people to restore prayer as a way of living.

Into the book
If you keep praying and receiving answers, there will eventually come a time when you will only 'enjoy' God and pray.
Then prayer becomes not just a part of life, but the whole of life.
--- From the "Introductory Note"
So, when Israel obeyed, God appeared as a God of love, comforting them with unconditional love, and when Israel disobeyed, God appeared as a God of justice, rebuking them and leading them to the right path.
This is God's love and justice, and the two are ultimately one.
--- 「Chapter 1.
From "What God Do I Pray to?"
When people are under God's rule, they can become the freest and most authentic human beings.
As a result of Jacob's wrestling with God at the Jabbok River, he was transformed from a deceiver Jacob to an Israel ruled by God.
--- 「Chapter 2.
From “Prayers Answered by God”
Why should we pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven? It's because God's will isn't being properly done on earth.
--- Chapter 3.
From “For the Honor of God”
There are mistakes we often make when we pray.
It's as if we know what's best better than God, as if we've planned everything out and are asking God for His approval.

From “Knowing God and Knowing Myself”
In Kings 3, Solomon prayed to God, and God answered him.
God gave Solomon His heart of love for His people.
--- 「Chapter 5.

The reason God tells us to 'pray' is because He wants to communicate with us.
More important than receiving answers is fellowship with God.

After praying, Hannah felt at peace.
Not because God answered my prayer, but because I left it completely to God.

Through the heart of God received during prayer, we come to ask for what we ought to ask for.
--- Chapter 8.
From “Prayer to God”
When does our relationship with God deepen? Even when God doesn't fulfill my will, when it feels like He has abandoned me, it deepens when I hold on to Him.
--- Chapter 9.
From “When You Don’t Know How to Pray”
As we repeat the process of praying and receiving answers, we gain faith and come to accept even difficult moments as part of our lives given to us by God.
When prayer becomes life and life becomes prayer, we can live no matter how difficult it is.
--- Chapter 10.
From "When Life is Hard"
The Canaanite woman was initially silenced and ignored by Jesus, but she did not give up and continued to come to the Lord.

For we do not present our supplications before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercy (Daniel 9:18).
