'“Learn
a simple prayer that will help you find your sweet spot in life.”—Josh
McDowell, author of More Than a Carpenter
“Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.”
Proverbs 30:8
This simple, unexpected request from a little-known biblical
author named Agur is the only prayer in
all of Proverbs, and it offers life-changing potential.
Imagine finding new purpose and contentment in your work,
personal ministry, and relationships. Open your heart to Agur’s wit and
wisdom, and you can learn to
• escape imbalance
• overcome fear of failure and eliminate envy
• joyfully pursue your passions
• reap the eternal rewards of trusting God
• find your personal sweet spot
In our modern, busy lives, embracing balance leads us away
from bad decision-making and the emotional cost of trying to do too
much or survive with too little.
This engaging and practical book faithfully
unpacks Agur’s humble prayer. Read it in an evening. Affirm it for a
lifetime. Share it with those you love.
And now, my review:
I found The Prayer of Agur by Jay Payleitner to be a wonderful
read of digging deeper into Proverbs chapter 30. I love the author’s writing
voice in that it’s like he’s sitting with me while I’m reading and sharing with
me all that God has shown him. It truly
is quite a prayer that Agur prays and one to stop and think about
personally. It takes TRUST in the One to
pray such a prayer. There is much to be
said before and after it as well. I
loved all the author brought out to ponder and he even included some group
discussion questions at the end. Each
chapter is quick in reading but the key is slowing down and bringing it inside. I’m excited about the sweet spot that God has
me at and I’m looking forward to what He is doing and is going to do with it.
I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange
for my honest review.
