Like the title, Meyer has written a book that is a simple read with 14 chapters. From the opening “Lord, Teach Me†to the closing “Staying Strong through Prayer,†each chapter is a magazine format with blurbs in shadow boxes and bullets highlights. Also, the poetic chapters end with a galvanized summary and powerful prayer points. Throughout the informative chapters she has endless timely scriptures and life coaching examples.
What makes Meyer a best-selling author is her down-to-earth language. Her revelatory words remind one if they are in an oral, non-verbal dialogue with their wise mother.
“One of the keys to powerful prayer is to ask God for what we need and to continue to pray until we experience His tremendous power working on our behalf or in our situation. We need to press through in prayer and not give up so easily!â€
She discussed how Jesus taught His disciples to pray with persistence. “Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks and keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.†(Luke 11:9-10)
Today’s economic tsunami has caused many of God’s faithful followers to question the Almighty or worse lose faith in Him. Would you believe “Worry†is a deterrent? This is a mighty feast for all non-believers and believers.

“For this reason I kneel before the Father from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives his name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love.†Ephesians 3:14-17

In “The Power of Simple Prayer: How to Talk with God about Everythingâ€, Meyer explained the simplicity and natural ease of praying to God.
“Sometimes people make prayer dry and difficult; sometimes our religious mind-sets and ‘systems’ present prayer in such a way that it seems out of reach for many of us. He wants our prayers to be honest and heartfelt, and He wants our communication with Him unencumbered by rules, regulations, legalism, and obligation. He intends for prayer to be an integral part of our everyday lives—the easiest thing we do each day,†Meyer said.
