Review of “Your 100 Day Prayer”

Jesus told two parables to press us to greater persistence in prayer. One was humorous, about a friend who keeps knocking on a good neighbor’s door at midnight because he’s confident the neighbor will respond. The other parable was darker, about a poor widow who continues to press her case before an unjust judge because she has no other recourse. Both parables were meant to shame us in how quickly we abandon our prayers. In his new book, Your 100 Day Prayer: The Transforming Power of Actively Waiting on God, John Snyder has given us a practical tool to help us stay faithful in bringing our concerns to God. Snyder encourages the reader to specify your need at the start, and then he provides 100 days of brief devotionals designed to keep us in conversation with God about the need. Here is a way to put discipline to intention.
