This volume explores the subject of prayer and the prayers of the Bible. The daily readings in this book focus on the prayers that God has seen fit to record for us, on incidents where prayer was involved, and on various references to prayer.

“When we cannot find words in which to express our prayer and can only groan, the Spirit takes our groans and makes them into effective intercession. Here is encouragement for those who find praying difficult. Is not this true of us all at times?” (Page 298)
“If we fail to pray publicly for all men, we are ignoring the work of the Mediator. He has made it possible for all to be saved.” (Page 344)
“Abraham built altars, Isaac dug wells, and Jacob erected pillars.” (Page 18)
“It is certainly true that sin amongst the people of God must be dealt with. However, it is never with anything but sorrow that individuals are confronted or disciplined. It must never be done without deep prayer and a true seeking of the mind of the Lord. There should be tears in our eyes and sorrow in our hearts whenever it is undertaken. The aim must be the conquest of sin and restoration of the errant believer into the household of faith and fellowship.” (Page 75)
“At the very beginning men prayed, calling on the name of the Lord, and others followed in their steps. Abraham ‘called on the name of the Lord’ after building the altar between Bethel and Hai, Gen. 12:8.” (Page 17)
