I could pray  In the bathroom in our home, I locked the door to be alone and knelt on the beige tiled floor. I put my hands together, bowed my head and reverently asked out loud, 'Heavenly Father, please give me the part of Amahl.' Confident God had heard my prayer, and I would get the part, I sang for the selection committee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe part went to another boy. My disappointment left me wondering why God had not answered my prayer. I knew God answered prayers. What went wrong?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoes God really answer our prayers? One man of faith shares his lifelong quest for a prayerful connection with God.\u003cbr\u003e Tom Bowers' boyhood hopes prompted him to pray. But he never imagined how God's response would set a pattern for his life. Through physical trauma, depression, and family tragedy, he kept seeking God in prayer.\u003cbr\u003e Empowered by his devotion to Paramahansa Yogananda, he started a meditation group in Utah. At the time, he was a student at Brigham Young University even though he was not a Latter-day Saint. Later he united with Reverend Sun Myung Moon's vision of one world under God and became a Unification Church leader. Matched by Reverend Moon, he and his wife eventually accepted Jesus Christ and joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His remarkable spiritual journey is a testament to the truth that God answers prayer in His own time and in His own way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Bowers Jr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732854222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.63d","brand":"Tom Bowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36667739504796,"sku":"9781732854222","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_805d4171-3ce3-41f8-82d9-918dfef45caa.jpg?v=1603915657","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ask-in-prayer-a-faith-promoting-journey-9781732854222","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
