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.

Confession.


“No, not despairingly
Come I to Thee;
No, not distrustingly
Bend I the knee;
Sin hath gone over me,
Yet is this still my plea,
Jesus hath died.
“Ah, mine iniquity
Crimson has been;
Infinite, infinite,
Sin upon sin;
Sin of not loving Thee,
Sin of not trusting Thee.
Infinite sin.
“Lord, I confess to Thee
Sadly my sin;
All I am, tell I Thee,
All I have been.
Purge Thou my sin away,
Wash Thou my soul this day;
Lord, make me clean!”
Dr. H. Bonar.
