Synopsis

Praying should be as urgent and necessary to us as breathing—yet all too often we're bored by it, distracted from it, or uncertain of its purpose. We don't really know why we should pray.

We have many reasons to be excited about prayer, as Guy Richard shows us. It is the relationship glue that bonds our hearts more and more to the Lord. God commands us to pray, and he graciously answers our prayers. As we pour out our hearts to him, we and the world around us will be changed.

Informative, encouraging, and practical, this brief book will serve as a helpful primer for pastors, elders, study groups, and Christians who seek encouragement and instruction on prayer and its blessings. As do all books in the Blessings of the Faith series, this short volume concludes with answers to frequently asked and pertinent questions on the topic.

Goodreads review by Kyle on June 15, 2023

I have such a hard time with reformed books on prayer. As I read them I’m not stirred up to encounter the personal God who hears my prayers and wants me to be expectant. Rather I’m left with a load of qualifiers that tell me why I should temper my expectations. These books are really good about taki......more

I read this book because I wanted to be exhorted to pray more often and more fervently. It did just that and had some very interesting insights into prayer I have not thought of before. Here are just 2: - fasting and praying to prepare ourselves for temptation just as Jesus had done in the wilderness......more
