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.

Prayer.


Prayer was appointed to convey
The blessings God designs to give;
Long as they live should Christians pray,
For only while they pray they live.
And shall we in dead silence lie,
When Christ stands waiting for our prayer?
My soul, thou hast a Friend on high;
Arise and try thy interest there.
If pain afflict, or wrongs oppress;
If cares distract, or fears dismay;
If guilt deject, if sin distress;
The remedy’s before thee—Pray!
Depend on Christ, thou canst not fail;
Make all thy wants and wishes known.
Fear not; His merits must prevail;
Ask what thou wilt; it shall be done!
Joseph Hart.
