Pray, don't think!
Pray, Don’t Think. Our Heavenly Father, Amen!
A devotional book by Daniel Cerro
When thoughts become overwhelming, prayer becomes refuge.
There was a time when my mind felt like a battlefield.
I believed in God, yet my thoughts were restless—filled with fear, doubt, distraction, and inner struggle. In those moments, thinking only pulled me further from peace.
What brought me back was prayer.
This book was written from that experience.
What this book is about
Pray, Don’t Think. Our Heavenly Father, Amen! is a devotional testimony centered entirely on the Lord’s Prayer—not as a ritual to recite, but as a living prayer Jesus gave us to realign our hearts, minds, and lives with God.
Each section reflects on one line of the Lord’s Prayer, guiding the reader through themes of:
worship and adoration
surrender and trust
dependence on God
forgiveness and humility
spiritual vigilance and deliverance
Throughout the book, prayer is presented not as performance or eloquence, but as an act of faith, surrender, and communion with God through the Holy Spirit.
How this book helps
This devotional offers simple, practical ways of returning to prayer when thinking becomes heavy or unproductive. It speaks honestly about spiritual struggle, temptation, pride, anxiety, and inner conflict—while continually pointing back to the grace and peace found in Jesus Christ.
Rather than encouraging control or overanalysis, these reflections invite the reader to entrust the battle of the mind to God through sincere prayer.
Who this book is for?
This book is especially for those who:
believe in Jesus Christ, yet struggle with intrusive or anxious thoughts
feel spiritually unsettled, distracted, or weary
desire a deeper, more consistent prayer life

Whether you are steady in your faith or quietly struggling, these pages are meant to walk with you, not instruct you from a distance.
