Dangerous Prayers: Because Following Jesus Was Never Meant to Be Safe

Be inspired to pray boldly, pray powerfully, pray with passion, and trade ineffective prayers and lukewarm faith for raw, daring prayers that will transform your daily life.

Do you ever wonder if God answers your prayers? Do you wish you could see the evidence that prayer changes lives? Do you long for more than playing it safe in your faith? Join New York Times bestselling author Craig Groeschel as he helps you discover the power of authentically communicating with God, breaking out of the restrictive spiritual safety bubble, and expanding your ideas about what's possible with God.

The Bible tells us that prayer has the power to move God's heart, but some prayers move him more than others. He wants more for us than a tepid faith and half-hearted routines at the dinner table. God called you to a life of courage, not comfort.

In Dangerous Prayers, Groeschel will show you how to pray the prayers that search your soul, break your habits, and send you out to pursue the calling God has for you. But be warned: If you're fine with settling for what's easy, or if you're okay with staying on the sidelines, this book isn't for you. You'll be challenged. You'll be tested. You'll be moved to take a long, hard look at your heart. But you'll be inspired, too.

Dangerous Prayers will give you the encouragement and tools you need to:

  • Transform the patterns around your daily prayer life
  • Truly embrace and believe in the power of intentional prayer
  • Start to pray daring, faith-filled, God-honoring, life-changing, world-transforming prayers

You'll discover the secret to overcoming fears of loss, rejection, failure, and the unknown, and you'll welcome the blessings God has for you on the other side. But best of all, you'll gain the courage it takes to pray dangerous prayers.

Bold, honest, and spiritually convicting, Dangerous Prayers isn’t your typical feel-good devotional—it’s a wake-up call. Groeschel challenges readers to stop playing it safe with God and start praying with guts, purpose, and vulnerability. The writing is accessible but packs a punch, blending personal stories with scriptural truth in a way that hits home. It’s not always comfortable, but that’s exactly the point—and why it’s so powerful.
