"Sam, God truly sent you with these letters into my life at this precious moment. You & what you are doing is definitely God Touched..."

Dear reader,

Years ago when I was a wide-eyed high school student, I read a book by a man who tried to turn his mind to God once every minute. 

Many people told this man he was crazy. 

That he was on a fool's errand. 

But he tried anyway.

And in this book he describes how his "experiment in prayer" launched him into the depths of a great spiritual awakening which:

• Changed his ministry (he was a missionary in the Phillipines)
• Changed HIM to the core
• Caused joy and freedom and power and results in his work, to begin pouring into his life from some hidden, spiritual spring he had tapped into

The Power Of A Life Spent Always Praying

Later in my life I learned that this man went on to found an global literacy organization, which has taught over 100,000,000 illiterate people to read since its founding. In other words, what resulted from his "experiments in prayer" affected FAR more than just his personal, spiritual life. 

It ended up affecting 1/80th of the entire world population.  In a deep and lasting way. Think of all the opportunities which learning to read unlocks. And for 100,000,000 people...

THAT is the power of a life spent continually praying. 

"Could I learn to pray every minute of MY life?"

When I finished the book, I burned with a desire to try the experiment myself. 

So I did. 

I tried "turning my mind to God once every minute."

First day was hard, but good. 

Second day was mostly just hard. 

And by the end of the week, I had mostly given up. 

The initial fire had faded.

And so had my attempts to pray continually. 

This story repeated itself several times in the years to come. 

And in-between each of my attempts to pray without ceasing...

... my life got a little busier. My list of responsibilities got a little longer. And the "weight of the world" began pressing in on me.

After graduating college... 

I got a job in advertising.

I got married.

I had all the normal "complications of adulthood" added to my life; rent, taxes, broken relationships, family deaths, etc.

My Prayer Life Today

As I write to you, I am in the middle of by far my longest-running attempt to pray without ceasing. 

But this time, instead of the fire fading with time...

... it has only grown hotter since I began. 

As I write these words on this page, my consciousness is stained with a sense of God's nearness. I still have trouble praying continuously while typing, but I am getting there. 

I went to Costco yesterday. And as I pushed my cart around the giant warehouse and filled it with Kirkland goodies, I was praying. Praying through Psalm 23. Praying for the people I passed. Thanking God for his provision. 

And increasingly...

... this is becoming my new norm. 

Every day I am learning new lessons about: 

• how to pray while cooking
• how to pray while talking to people
• how to pray while at the computer
• how to pray while driving
• how to pray while doing the dishes
• how to pray while visiting family
• how to pray while on a retreat
• how to pray while working
• how to pray while watching tv

... which is having a profound effect on my mental and spiritual health: 

+ I feel an overwhelming sense of peace, even in the middle of dire financial and familial circumstances

+ I feel a deep sense of joy and satisfaction, that comes bubbling up out of my depths at random points throughout the day

+ I feel the effects of increased prayer on the quality of my work; for example, the words I am writing on this page are largely being borne from prayer

+ I feel stress and worry and anxiety melting away

And as to HOW all this happened?

And WHAT I am doing to sustain my motivation over a long time?

I explain this in the "How To Pray Without Ceasing" Letters. 

How YOU can pray every minute of YOUR life

If you want to learn to pray every minute of your life, there are only three things you need to do:

(1) Ask God for HELP at every step of the way (this is the step most Christians skip)

(2) Supply your best effort

(3) Adapt your efforts as you learn and grow on your journey into deeper prayer

It's quite simple. 

But just because it's simple...

...doesn't mean it's easy. 

For starters: 

• HOW do you "ask God for help"?
• HOW do you sustain your motivation once you start? 
• WHAT does it look like to "supply your best effort"?
• HOW do you "supply your best effort" in a way that leaves room for the Spirit to direct and empower you, so it's not just you struggling to make it happen by your own power?
• WHY is it so hard to pray sometimes?
• WHAT should you do when you don't feel like praying?
• WHAT can you do to spark desire in yourself to pray more?

There ARE answers to all these questions. 

And I unpack the answers in my Monday-Friday letters. 

So that a clearer picture can emerge in your mind. 

Of HOW exactly YOU can learn to step into this life. Where you are praying every minute. 

How these letters don't just inform, but TRANSFORM your prayer life

I work in advertising.

I have spent my entire career studying human motivation.

So that I can string words together in a way that makes you WANT something. 

And want it so badly... 

That when you leave the page I made... or the video I shot... you can't stop thinking about the item in question. 

For hours and sometimes days. 

And one day I had the idea... 

"What if I used my training as a persuasive writer... to make people want to pray more? The same way I make them want to buy stuff? If I can get thousands of people to want little plastic trinkets, enough to pay $50 for them... and hundreds of people to want expensive membership programs, enough to pay $10,000+ for them... why not use this persuasive skill to make people want things that will REALLY change their life... like, prayer?"

So that's what I have done with these letters. 

I have designed them in a way that does not just fill your head with information. 

But I have channeled all my knowledge of human psychology, all my mastery of human motivation...

...into these letters so that they fill your heart with FIRE.

And make you WANT to pray more.

Instead of just thinking you "should" pray more. 

Why Am I Charging Money For These Letters?

After all, shouldn't "spiritual" things be free?

Fair question.

Here are three reasons:

(1) I want to someday transition from working in advertising… to working on PrayMore full time. Which will require money. Because I have a wife. And a belly, that needs fuel

(2) Charging a membership fee gives me money to advertise with, so I can spread the word about “How To Pray Without Ceasing” faster

(3) People will be more likely to read these letters if they pay for them - because we humans are more likely to use items we pay for, over items we got for free

 Nothing to lose, and a prayer-filled life to gain. What are you waiting for?

You can try my letters for 14 days for a dollar. 

And if you find them helpful? 

You can stay subscribed for $19/mo after that. 

And if you don't find them helpful?

You can easily cancel your subscription. 

With a few clicks. 

What's more: 

If those 14 trial emails DIDN'T inspire you to pray more... though I suspect they will... email me and let me know, and I'll gladly even refund that $1 you spent! I'm serious. I'm completely uninterested in taking money from anyone unless I can help them pray more. 

So really...

You have nothing to lose. 

And a prayer-filled life to gain. 

What are you waiting for.

Give it a shot. 

And I'll see you on the other side:

Best,
