Prayer

Our desires for this church are completely dependent on God being gracious and merciful on us and on those he calls.  Nothing we desire can be done by merely human effort.  Because of this, we MUST be a people who seek the Lord in prayer.    

 

John Bunyan, who wrote Pilgrim's Progress, wrote some classic books on prayer, which I will now start reading through.  Prayer is difficult, and maybe learning from this great man of God will stir my heart to pray as I ought.  With that, I am going to be inviting you into what I am reading through this blog.  My hope is that we can all take these coming weeks to be challenged in our prayer life, and motivated to grow in this area.  My prayer now for all of us is that we take seriously prayer, and take seriously wanting to grow in it.       

 

If any of you are interested in the book I will be reading and quoting from, it is called "Prayer" and is from the Puritan Paperback series.  This book contains 2 books by Bunyan, "Praying in the Spirit," and "The Throne of Grace."
