This book is not assuming that you cannot pray but that making answerable prayer requires a lot of preparation. The aim of the book is to prepare you to make answerable prayer. The primary aim is not the "prayer" (act) but the "Prayer" (actor). The Prayer is one, who prays. His mood, state, manner, clarity, specificity and purity of conscience determine the outcome of his prayer. This book is concerned with private sowing into one's life. Prepared (fasted privately) and worked in the public such that people marvelled at Jesus' practice. If the new era requires preparation for what will happen, this book is about grooming and producing ambassadors of faith in God. If my church is the word of God, learning to pray is an art that helps me to manage my prayer effectively. Where does the word of God have effect? Most certainly it is in my mind and wherever I am, it is my mind that is most required in worshipping God. Consider attending the temple since 437BC and what the world became from it. As you go through this book, watch what triggered relationship between God and some people mentioned herein. They were not roaming souls but people who heard and tried what they heard and believed. This book lays foundation in your mind to trigger such hidden talent in you that would bring you nearer to your Creator "the ever-running spring".

Like going to churches, some people have been searching for "that very prayer", which once said, automatically opens the gates of favours to them. Of course, such prayers exist (see chapter 11) but has path to it. In 1994, I researched: The Future of Nigeria and detailed the path to happier nation; chapter 9 of it detailed financial prosperity. Guess what happened, the government jumped chapters 1-8 (preparations) to chapter 9. Without preparation, did it gain by jumping? If God exists, there is a path to him. What this book is trying to do is: produce such unique souls as Moses and Jeremiah, who though stammers were able to communicate with God.

Many people may say the same prayers in a day but received no answer. The books: "The Missing Dimensions of Heaven", "The Four Gospels Reconciled", "One-to-One with God", The Collapse of the church" , "The Exposition of the Bible", etc show God's work-in-motion for the willing heart. The mustard seed, how will it happen to you? We provided samples of prayers God, Abraham, Elijah; Jesus said, in preparation to add on; prayer is an undertaking for the willing heart.
