Have you spent most of your life praying mostly for yourself and your family? When you pray for others, do you know how to pray for their needs in any general or specific way? When you pray the Lord's Prayer, how do you pray for the glory of God's kingdom and God's name? This book on how to pray The Lord's Prayer will help you.

Jesus gave us the perfect pattern for prayer: The Lord’s Prayer. But how do we pray it deeply? And how do we pray it for others?

The prayer is not only for petition. It is not about mere ritual and repetition. As Christians, we have the privilege of asking God for anything. We have His precious promises. We have a God who engages with us as a God of promises and who asks us to relate to Him through trust. Trust in His power, love, and care. Trust in His readiness, willingness, and ability to help us.

But what is The Seven Directions? Why does that sound so mystical and "New Agey"? The Seven Directions is ancient, and reminiscent of the the Prayer of St Patrick. Christ above us, Christ within us, Christ below us, Christ to the west of me, Christ to the east of me, Christ to the north of me, Christ to the east of me. Praying the Lord's Prayer in the Seven Direction will help you to pray for yourself and for others in a new way.

The book is for Christians who know little about the Bible or Biblical prayer and who might be more connected to New Age teachings, liturgical prayers, and cultural popular beliefs. Christians are commanded to pray for each other. But how does one do that? How can we pray wholeheartedly for others? This little manual is an easy, quick read about an easy and memorable method that will enable anyone to understand how to pray for friends, family, enemies, and strangers. It also teaches some of the basics of Biblical prayer.
