Organizing Your

Prayer Closet:

A New and

Life-Changing

Way to Pray

“If you're a little scatter brained like me, with your mind going six places at once, prayer can be a challenge. How do you pray? When do you pray? And what do you pray? That's why I love Gina's Prayer Closet Organizer. It's a great weapon to help me focus, be more effective, and be more intention-al about listening for God's voice. In-stead of wondering how I'll fill my prayer time, I'm excited about it, and you will be, too!”

—Sheila Wray Gregoire, blogger at ToLoveHonorandVacuum.com

A tested system to refresh, deepen and grow your prayer life.

Author Gina Duke illuminates the importance and power of prayer as the best con-

nection to the source of all strength. Then, she breaks down tough spiritual concepts

into practical exercises with 52 weekly worksheets that guide and equip you on a

yearlong prayer journey.

A Christianity Today survey found that 48% of Christians are unhappy with their

prayer life, 34% don’t know how to pray, and amazingly 31% weren’t sure that God

ever responded to their prayers. Organizing Your Prayer Closet offers an all-

encompassing new approach to revitalizing your prayer closet. It inspires and equips

with Scripture, inspirational quotes, and space for journaling. Each week you will be

challenged as you complete lessons on interacting with scripture, overcoming prayer

hurdles, learning to pray authentically, and more.

and “living the life”, but in these last two classes, you have brought so

much together for me – you are so practical!! This is what has been

missing in so many other classes I have been a part of. You have no idea

how many things the Lord is speaking to me about – through you. ...You

are going to be the first thing I put in my prayer closet organizer that I

am thankful for.” ~Stephanie B.

Last words...

“In a nutshell, the Prayer Closet Organizer will train you to focus on the higher things of

God. Your prayer life will become everything God intended, and as your faith grows, you will

become the Christian God intended.

The Prayer Closet Organizer is an effective resource for clear-minded, disciplined prayer.

Each section of the organizer is specifically designed to meet both practical and reflective

needs of prayer. This tool offers you a private escape into the presence of God for some

meaningful one-on-one time. Jesus Himself often went to private places to spend time

alone with God. The Son of God had a habit of retreating for prayer to a garden, a moun-

tain, and a boat. He regularly escaped to solitary places despite His hectic and demanding

ministry and travels. In fact, He told us to do the same thing—and promised to bless us for

doing so: “When thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray

to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee

openly” (Matthew 6:6 KJV). The book in your hand is your new solitary place for prayer. The

Prayer Closet Organizer can be used anytime and anywhere. Whether you are in a busy

waiting room or at a noisy soccer game, you can enter into your prayer closet for a moment

of solitude and comforting conversation with God. “ Organizing Your Prayer Closet
