Prayer provides the primary language for everything that takes place in the way of Jesus. We pray because it is the only lan-guage we have for speaking to God. Prayer is something that is not added on to the Christian life, but shaped from the inside out. The practice of prayer is the primary way by which the life of Jesus comes to permeate our entire lives so that we walk spontaneously and speak the fluency of holiness.
A Year with Jesus shows readers how to pray with Jesus; day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month. Taking the reader through Jesus’ stories in the Gospel of Mat-thew and John, this 365 daily devotional, shares with readers a passage of Scripture, featuring The Message, and shows them how to reflect upon Scripture and pray to God.
The simplicity of The Message teaches readers how to pray to God in everyday language. Each reading includes a passage of Scripture, a short devotion from Eugene Peterson, a reflection question, and applica-tion prayer.
