Practical teaching on prayer by
Glen Livingston
The Lord desires to see His churches strengthened and many new
churches started. He has sovereignly chosen to make use of means to
accomplish His purposes. Prayer is one of the means God has given to
see His purposes accomplished. Through prayer, every believer can
participate in the advance of the Gospel. Therefore, it is important that
the whole Body of Christ be encouraged in prayer, and especially
intercessory prayer, in support of those issues that will advance God’s
church.

Pursuit of God
Devotional Guide by
A.W. Tozer
Pursuit of God states that “As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” This thirst for an intimate relationship with God, claims A.W. Tozer, is not for a select few, but should be the experience of every follower of Christ. But, he asserts, it is all too rare when believers have become conditioned by tradition to accept standards of mediocrity, and the church struggles with formality and worldliness.

A Method of Prayer

Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon’s own commentary on every verse of the Psalms is extremely insightful, and by itself it would have been rich enough for posterity. But there”’s much more in The Treasury of David. You”’ll find a wealth of illuminating extracts and quotes from hundreds of commentators–contemporaries of Spurgeon as well as the great Puritan expositors of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Lord’s Prayer
Prayer Books by
A.W. Pink
Lord’s Prayer states after all that has been spoken and written by godly men on prayer, we need something better than that which is of mere human origin to guide us if we are to perform aright this essential duty. How ignorant and sinful creatures are to endeavor to come before the Most High God, how they are to pray acceptably to Him and to obtain from Him what they need, can be discovered only as the great Hearer of prayer is pleased to reveal His will to us.

Calvin on Prayer
Prayer Books by
John Calvin
For John Calvin, prayer cannot be accomplished without discipline. “Words fail to explain how necessary prayer is, and in how many ways the exercise of prayer is profitable. It is therefore by the benefit of prayer that we reach those riches which are laid up for us with the heavenly Father.” These are the words of John Calvin on the necessity of prayer, and they come to us from his Institutes of the Christian Religion.
Exposition of the Lord’s Prayer
Prayer Books by
Thomas Hooker
A brief exposition of the Lord’s prayer: Thomas Watson was one of the many non-conformist preachers in 17th century England. He was barred from and then reinstated to the ministry several times, but nevertheless continued to preach. Lord’s Prayer is the third volume of Watson’s series explaining the tenets of Christian faith – the Ten Commandments and the Apostle’s Creed are the subjects of the other two. He gives a lengthy exposition of each “petition” in the prayer, which is found in Matthew 6.
