Things Most People

Do Not Know

About Prayer

2 1

The author defines prayer as the heart’s desires expressed to God in words. He then discusses the complex subject of how God can answer prayers in a world that has all the appearances of being controlled by what is generally called “natural laws.” He then concludes that prayer is reasonable and workable for any person willing to put the things about prayer taught in Scripture to work. This informative book, packed with Scripture, guides the reader through a valuable study of the qualities (humility, love, expectancy, and watchfulness), conditions, and content of prayer. But it also gives valuable insights into prayer and confession, prayer and salvation, and prayer and the intercession of Christ.

Excerpts:

Christ existed before the creation of all things, but it is also true that “by him all things consist” (Col. 1:17). In other words, Christ, as the agent of God in creation, brought all things into existence in the beginning, but, according to this verse, all things which He created also continue to hold together through Him. . . . Surely God can answer
prayer for people who live in space and time, even when their prayers involve “things” tied in with space and time, if God Himself is the source of this world’s origin as well as its continuance on a day to day basis.

The great heroes of faith in both the Old and New Testaments were people who strongly believed in prayer. Not many of their prayers have been recorded in the Bible, but from the ones that we do have it is evident that they not only believed in prayer, but their practice of prayer is a firm witness to their belief in it. A sampling of prayers from Abraham
(Gen. 18:9-33),
Jacob (Gen. 32:22-32),
Moses (Ex. 32:9-14, 31-32; 33:12-23), David (Ps. 51),
Daniel (Dan. 9:1-19), Hannah (1 Sam. 1:1-18), Job (Job 38:1-7; 40:1-5; 42:1-6),
Jesus (Matt. 26:36-46; 27:45-46; Lk. 23:34, 46; Jn. 17),
and Paul (Eph. 1:15-23; 3:14-21) is sufficient to convince any fair-minded person that prayer was at the center of the lives of Bible characters who had their lives centered upon God.

James links humility with prayer. He quotes from the Old Testament which says, “God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble” (4:6), and then follows the quotation with an exhortation, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall exalt you” (4:10). Humility is essential to drawing near to God (4:8) and submitting to Him (4:7). Without it prayer that pleases God and gets the desired results is impossible:  “… ye have not, because ye ask not.” Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend it on your pleasures” (4:2b-3).
