There are times when we do not have any more tears to cry for, we have made bread of them, and we eat, and drunk with wine those salty tears by the bowlful. These are the times when we face the most profound questions of our existence, and we wonder why God allows such suffering and injustice in the world. We impugn Him with our anger and despair, but we only hear silence in return. Then we stood up, and God only looked at us... Why...? The answers to our impugns may require some zebra-comprehension, a term coined by philosopher Thomas Nagel to describe the ability to understand something from a radically different perspective than our own. By providing clear examples of ineffective prayers and contrasting them with profound spiritual insights and biblically grounded approaches, readers will learn how to pray with purpose and experience the true impact of effective, successful prayer.
