CAROL STREAM, Ill., April 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- The May issue of the Kyria digizine, available today, is a resource to help Christians understand the real purpose and power of prayer as they prepare for the National Day of Prayer.
Editor Ginger Kolbaba says, "This month's issue of the Kyria digizine is on the spiritual discipline of prayer--the practice of acknowledging our dependence on God and aligning our hearts with his. We want to encourage women by helping them understand the importance of prayer and to motivate them to take the time to really engage with their Heavenly Father."
Featured is an interview with Patricia Raybon, author of I Told the Mountain to Move (Tyndale House Publishers). Raybon says that knowing God is the most important aspect of prayer. Real prayer is less asking and more dwelling with God and enjoying his presence. However, as you grow in knowledge of who God is, you learn to pray in a way that integrates your life and your requests with what you know of the Answerer.
The May issue of the Kyria digizine is available to members and features the following articles:
