This little booklet you now hold in your hands, Secrets of Successful Prayer, provides answers to one simple question, a question many of us find ourselves asking whenever earthly troubles or pain press down on our thought: Why, even after we've opened our hearts to the power of God's love, do our prayers go unanswered? Oftentimes, the reason prayers go unanswered is that we are trying to accomplish something that God does not want us to do. We also may not be doing something God specifically instructed us to do. We must pray to discover God's Will for us, and take on His Will for ourselves.
