Robert Morris is the founding senior pastor of Gateway Church in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. Morris appears on a weekly television program The Blessed Life and is the bestselling author of twelve books, including From Dream to Destiny, The Blessed Life, The Power of Words, It is Written and Frequency. He focuses on teaching God’s Word and this is evident in how and what he writes.
In the book, Why Keep Praying, Robert Morris brings compelling biblical teaching on the topic of prayer. He encourages readers to keep praying. Many people give up praying because they don’t see results and feel discouraged or angry that their prayers apparently haven’t been heard. But Robert Morris reveals why it is so important not to stop—to give up. This book provides hope and evidence for readers that God does hear their prayers, cares about them personally, and intervenes in their lives in ways beyond their imaginations.
Morris shares that prayer is an open door into the presence of our God and creator, where we can praise Him for who He is, thank Him for His goodness, confess our sins and find forgiveness, and bring our deepest concerns, our silent fears, and our heartfelt desires to place before Him. Like many of Morris’ books it is an easy read yet extremely powerful. I will never think about prayer the same way. It is a compelling book and has made a profound change in my life. You will not be the same after reading Why Keep Praying When You Don’t See Results.
