Laurie and I have been profoundly impacted by the liberating message of grace we have received in recent years. Weve been amazed at the results as weve learned to pray from victory instead of praying for victory.
Its no exaggeration to say that a fuller understanding of the wonders of Gods grace has transformed our lives and enriched our walk with God in countless ways. But in no area has that transformation been greater than in the area of our prayer lives.
Understanding that Gods throne truly is a throne of grace; grasping the full scope of Jesuss finished work on the cross; and getting a deeper revelation of Gods goodness and faithfulness has changed us. Each of these discoveries have combined to make our praying more exciting and more effective. Far more effective!
Thats why we welcome this devotional by David A. Holland. Were thrilled to be able to direct friends to a resource that will help them renew their minds to the realities of grace, and model grace-based praying for them. This devotional takes you by the hand and, in 55 days, teaches you how to pray from a clear understanding of the victory Jesus has already won for you.
In the Bible, the number "5" symbolizes grace. That makes "55" an excellent number for the meditations and prayers on the pages that follow. We encourage you to spend some time with each of these for the next 55 days. Were confident youll discover what we have learned. Namely, that life becomes much more exciting and fulfilling when you learn to pray grace-based prayers.

"Too many of Gods people have given up on prayer, out of either frustration or discouragement. Thats why I wholeheartedly welcome Praying Grace, by my good friend, David Holland. This important new resource challenges common assumptions about prayer and teaches you how to pray with authority from a position of rest. If youll go on this 55-day journey, I can promise that your prayer life will never be the same!"
