Theologian David Torkington offers everyday guidance for entering more deeply into prayer in How to Pray: A Practical Guide to the Spiritual Life, whether you are a beginner or looking to go deeper in your prayer life. This guide's forty short, easy-to-read chapters can be read as a devotional, for meditation, or in conjunction with Sacred Scripture.

“There is only one way to perfection and that is to pray; if anyone points in another direction then they are deceiving you.” ~ Saint Teresa of Ávila

If we want to become the people God created us to be, we must make time for prayer every day. It sounds simple enough, but we frequently allow distractions, temptations, and our hectic lives to keep us from praying on a daily basis.

And what is prayer?

Prayer is a "no" to ourselves and a "yes" to God. Prayer is where we freely choose to accept God's love. God gives us the love that alone can transform us into his image and likeness as we strive to raise our minds and hearts to God on a daily basis, giving our time to be present with him.

Our soul becomes like a lightning rod when we pray, allowing the Holy Spirit to enter our hearts. The more we pray on a regular and consistent basis, the more we are changed.
