The 30 Second Prayer

I was very inspired reading Karol’s book, “The 30-Second Prayer.” This is extra liberating…   “Before you do anything, put your trust totally in God and not in yourself. Then every plan you make will succeed.”  Proverbs 16:3  I love to think of being able to submit my thoughts to the Lord and ask for His input on every single thing. Leave it to Karol to break it down and make it teachable and doable for everyone. Karol is a teacher’s teacher, has walked this out in her life, and gives us the steps to integrate this into our days, too. I am thankful for Karol’s revelation of Proverbs 16:3 and for God’s invitation to guide us in every second!

The 30-Second Prayer is not a complex formula that adds one more thing to our already overextended to-do lists. It is simple, yet very profound. Karol has written a very practical, wisdom filled book, making it very applicable to everyday life. She shows us how to de-stress our life God's way!

Not only is this book full of practical wisdom, but it is presented in such a way that I want to begin to incorporating the Proverbs 16:3 principal into my life immediately! The book was pleasurable and easy to read! I plan on getting a copy for family and friends as quickly as I can.

Today you will make hundreds of decisions, some critical, some not. Many of them have no clear right or wrong answer. In her book, The 30-Second Prayer – That Changes Everything, Karol conveys a simple, yet powerful key that will transform your prayer life and relationship with God.

We all want healthy and stress free lives.  In Karol's book, "The 30 Second Prayer" she shows us how to de-stress our lives, totally surrender to our Creator, and make Jesus the Lord of our lives.  Not only does she show us how to de-stress, but she gives us a plan to practice it!

This book is a great resource for someone who is a new Christian or one who needs to renew their time with the Lord. I could relate to several situations mentioned as praying before proceeding to a plan and then asking God to bless it. Living in His will instead is a better plan so He can use and bless His people. I also liked the fact that God is our Architect and has a “blueprint” of us. What a way to relate to Him in our everyday lives.

This book captures the heart of the Father as the Architect who is holding the true blueprint for our lives in His hands. Karol explains how to take a deep breath, step back, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead. I see this book as a vital tool for ministry in helping people find the will of God for their life—one day at a time.

I was stuck and at a standstill in my Christian walk.  I was distracted with unimportant things and wondering what was next for my life.  After learning the simple biblical principle discussed in this book, God gave me new hope and an excitement for things to come.  Proverbs 16:3 is taped to my bathroom mirror and work locker.

The 30-Second Prayer-Loved it!  I always struggle for the right words to pray.  This book gave me many little nuggets of wisdom straight from His word and I am encouraged to "strengthen my spiritual muscle" by yielding to God and giving him the control of my circumstances.

The 30-Second Prayer defines the actions we need to live a life full of Jesus and to accomplish His purpose for us. Karol’s ability to communicate what she has experienced draws you in and gives you a clear picture of rolling with Jesus. The days after reading this book were filled with opportunities to stop and include the Lord in all that I do. Karol’s love for teaching is evident on the pages of The 30-Second Prayer. I loved it!

I can testify to the effectiveness of the 30 Second Prayer. As a nurse who works on a busy, complex, post-surgical floor at the University of Minnesota Hospital, I pray this prayer every day before I swipe my badge to begin my workday. I pray for safety and guidance with every patient and I can testify to the faithfulness of God time and time again. Apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:15).

The 30 Second Prayer - That Changes Everything is a simple formula if you are searching for a way to help assist with balancing life.  Karol writes her story in a profound way so one can make connections to their own lives and strengthen their relationship with God. Truly a thought provoking, inspiring book written from the heart of a beautiful soul!

I really enjoyed this book.  It brought to light some truths that I have touched upon in the past, but had not fully grasped. I have already started to implement these principles into my everyday life.
