Let’s Pray Better --- Part of my future ebook
During this difficult season, we can improve and increase our prayers.
As we invest times in prayer then we will enjoy more peace of mind. 
Our mental and emotional chaos will decrease as we earnestly pray and praise God. 
Praying for ourselves brings the grace and tender mercies of God into our life.  
Praying for others takes our minds and emotions away from our needs, wants, worries, fears, uncertainties, and more.
Praying brings us into the presence of God and puts us into the flow of the love of God 
Prayer is a way for you and your children to express love for one another and those worldwide that are in crisis.
We have options to pray alone, with family members, with a prayer partner, and/or with an online prayer group.
Our skill of praying will improve with much practice. 
When we pray effectively then God answers our prayers for ourselves and others. Then witnessing the answers to prayer strengthens our hope and fuels our faith to pray more.
I challenge us to seize this golden opportunity to practice praying much more. 
In order to help you pray better, I offer you the attachments. They are filled with inspiration, instructions, and guidelines. These include samples of my general prayers and praises. There are units that are oriented to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. There are key Bible verses that are timely for this stressful season. 
You are invited to use them just as they are and to adapt them to suit your situation. That includes translating them into another language.
The attachments took me more than 200 hundred hours to create. Most of that time was invested in editing and polishing. 
These are offered in 5 ways to make each one easy to print out and to share with others on social media.
The one titled Coronavirus Prayer Guide is an updated and expanded version of the one is sent out about a month ago. This addresses our current conditions and calls for targeted prayers. 7 pages
The one titled Praying for Essential Workers is a list of the kinds of workers for our extra prayers. 1 page
The one titled SPP core units has 7 units that are useful during these difficult times and will be relevant for years to come. 14 pages
The one titled Highlighted Bible Verses is offered as an aid to suggest selected parts of the Bible to focus on during this shutdown season. 6 pages
The one titled SPP all units has all of the previous materials plus a Preface and an Appendix with many bonus pages that are intended to strengthen your hope and faith currently and for years to come. 56 pages  
Many of these units are just one page long, yet that page is packed with truths you might want to reread.
These documents were written on my laptop and formatted to print out on letter-size paper. I do not know how well they will read on a smartphone or tablet. 
Please make time to prayerfully read all this material. I poured my whole heart and soul into these pages. This was the most difficult project I have ever done.
There is a volume 3 that is in the works. When that has been completed and shared then I will weave all 3 volumes into a single ebook. Please pray for that process and final product to unfold gracefully. 
I believe that the best way to serve you and others is to help us to pray better.
Please pray for God to prepare the hearts of those who will appreciate and use these resources. 
Please forward this to many prayerful people.
Shalom
John S. Oliver

PS Please let me know what parts you like the most.

Praying for Essential Workers

Praying for Essential Workers The restrictions to ‘shelter in place’ are for those that are not essential workers. Let us consider who might be the essential workers for our best prayers. Most of these are unsung heroes that have always been diligently working behind the scenes to keep our society running all along.  Obviously, that includes doctors and nurses. But a hospital needs lots of other staff as well to keep things going. There are those who need to work in the laundry, supply rooms, food services, janitorial, bookkeeping, maintenance, security, etc.  There are those that work at pharmacies and their helpers.  Recently I heard a train whistle in the distance at night. Then I remembered those that have been working that late shift so that we have products on the shelves to buy and so companies have raw materials to make the products.  The truckers keep the cargo moving so that the products can be sold and bought.  There are those that ...
