Publisher's Description
A Powerful Call to Restore Your Soul Through PrayerWhen an excruciating bout of depression led Dr. Mark Rutland to more deeply explore prayer, he came to understand its miraculous power for soul restoration. Prayer is a declaration of our Father's compassion toward us, a confession of our own inadequacy, and a reminder that he meets our daily needs. As it turns out, these are the elements of prayer Jesus taught his disciples. Praying and meditating on the Lord's Prayer changed Dr. Rutland's life, and since then he has used it to restore others' souls as well. Filled with moving stories and powerful insights, this book will help you discover the truth about God's love and power, and this truth will bless and heal you. In the end, it's not just about saying the Lord's Prayer--it's about getting to know the Lord of the prayer.

Foreword
“This book is bold. This book is vulnerable. This book is revolutionary. By combining two ancient poems, Dr. Rutland has given us a compass for our intellect and our spirituality that is both universal and sufficient. In the Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 23 everything that you might feel needs to be said when you pray is said beautifully.”
“Every prayer of ours should be a praying of the Lord’s Prayer in some shape or form.”
“Dr. Rutland’s vulnerability and insights make this book a must-read for anyone looking to improve their prayer life. You will be moved by the stories of God’s work in people’s lives and learn how to connect with God in a new and meaningful way.”
“21 Seconds to Change Your World highlights the lifeline given to us through the Lord’s Prayer and Psalm 23. There was a period in my life when I prayed Psalm 23 daily over my family. Praying promises to problems brings God’s provision. Apply and practice their principles and God will demonstrate His love and wisdom in a daily way in your life. Expect revelation and to hear God’s voice.”
Dr. Marilyn Hickey
“Dr. Rutland has masterfully intertwined two classic portions of Scripture—the Lord’s Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm. The result is a study that will touch your heart and strengthen your faith.”
“Have you ever felt stuck in your prayer life? Are you looking for a way to connect with God and find healing, hope, freedom, and so much more? In my dear friend Mark Rutland’s new book, 21 Seconds to Change Your World, he explains that the answer lies in the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus gave us a way to connect with God—a road map to prayer—when He taught His disciples the Lord’s Prayer. This book will help you discover how to take your prayer life to a new level, and it starts with just 21 seconds a day in prayer.”
“Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. “Whatever else we say when we pray, if we pray as we should, we are only saying what is already contained in the Lord’s Prayer.”
“The Lord’s Prayer is the most perfect prayer we can say. . . . It is not only a cataloger of petitions but also, and especially, a corrective for our affections.”
“The Lord’s Prayer contains the sum total of religion and morals.”
