Asking God for the Gifts He Wants to Give You

As Christians, we believe that God always answers our prayers, but we dont always get the answers we want. Popular author Woodeene Koenig-Bricker has discovered a prayer that asks God for gifts that he wants to give us--and our Lords answers will delight us! The prayer, written by the beloved seventeenth-century St. Alphonsus Liguori, asks God for five forgiveness; wisdom; a share in divine love; confidence in the merits of Jesus and the intercession of Mary; and perseverance. Koenig-Bricker expands our understanding of each of these graces, explaining their meaning with teaching and Scripture and providing illustrations of their power with personal testimony and stories."In 'Asking God for the Gifts He Wants to Give you', Woodeene Koenig-Bricker has opened the door to a treasure from Christian tradition. Woodeene's exploration of this prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori is lucid, practical, and most of all, comforting in the assurance of God's love and care for us as we turn to him with our needs, small and great." --Amy Welborn, author of "Mary and the Christian Life" and "De-coding Da Vinci"Woodeene Koenig-Bricker is the author of numerous books and articles on faith, family, and spirituality, including the best-selling "Praying with the Saints".
