Overview

Christians pray for their own needs and for the needs of others. They pray in the face of conflict, and they pray for forgiveness. They pray to pour out their heart to God and to gain a glimpse of God’s heart for them. As David Healey leads readers through the prayers of men and women in the Bible (Mary, Abraham, Moses, Daniel and more!), he shares new insights into how and why to pray. Participants will experience more fully the adventure that prayer can be. Now available in IVP’s revised LifeGuide Bible Study format, Prayer features questions for starting group discussions and for personal reflection, as well as a new “Now or Later” section following each session.

And we will have to learn on the job until we meet Christ face to face, when it will all be different. But it is an adventure where we journey hand in hand with the one who went to the cross and prays, day in, day out, at the right hand of the Father for us.” (Page 7)

“As you begin each study, pray that God will speak to you through his Word” (Page 7)
