About This Book

A series of devotional addresses examines the nature and practice of prayer, diagnosing common hindrances and outlining habits that lead to prevailing prayer. Drawing on biblical examples and pastoral experience, the speaker emphasizes the twin means of grace—Scripture and prayer—and treats practical themes such as adoration, confession, restitution, thanksgiving, forgiveness, unity, faith, petition, submission, and the reality of answered prayer. The tone is exhortatory and practical, urging repentance, reliance on faith, and scripturally grounded petitions while illustrating how sincere, persevering prayer has produced spiritual renewal and tangible deliverance.

“Have Faith in God.”


“Have faith in God, for He who reigns on high
Hath borne thy grief, and hears the suppliant’s sigh;
Still to His arms, thine only refuge, fly,
Have faith in God!
“Fear not to call on Him, O soul distressed!
Thy sorrow’s whisper woos thee to His breast;
He who is oftenest there is oftenest blest.
Have faith in God!
“Lean not on Egypt’s reeds; slake not thy thirst
At earthly cisterns. Seek the Kingdom first.
Though man and Satan fright thee with their worst,
Have faith in God!
“Go, tell Him all! The sigh thy bosom heaves
Is heard in heaven. Strength and peace He gives,
Who gave Himself for thee. Our Jesus lives;
Have faith in God!”
Anna Shipton.
