Dear God, it is my sincere prayer that this compilation of prayers will allow many men to see how wonderfully accessible you are. If these prayers by men from many walks of life offer consolation and comfort to its readers, I thank You for making it so. As in all things important to our faith in You, this endeavor is by Your inspiration and guidance, not mine. I pray for those who have offered their prayers, as some may still be in stages of pain. Likewise, it is through Your grace and blessings that many prayers in this book are from those with thankful hearts and minds.

I have learned that You command the time and place for miracles that surpasses our understanding. It is my hope that in some way, even if it is only one prayer read by one man, that it will transform that person. And if that transformation is like a seed, such a change through Your grace will be far reaching and grow to advance the faith of many men.

In Jesus name, Amen.
