- Abstract
- Most Christians have received little training in the art of prayer. As a result, their prayers are often anemic, unbalanced, unhealthy, and tend to be self-focused in nature. It is a premise of this thesis that there is a healthy way that Christians can pray. Healthy prayer is a balance between self-focused and God-focused prayers. This thesis demonstrates through its various constituent prayer projects that healthy prayer can be taught to Christians through a variety of structured prayer programs that included an accountability component as well as structured learning opportunities. Furthermore, this thesis confirms that growth towards a healthy prayer life is measurable. This thesis proposes that Christians who attempt to adopt the healthy prayer life model into their prayer lives will grow spiritually and can become instruments of change within their church and the kingdom of God because their prayers are being directed by the Holy Spirit.
