Synopsis

Prayer. At its most basic, it is talking with the God of the universe. That, in an of itself, is one of the most amazing aspects of prayer. However, what is God’s purpose for authentic Christians in prayer? Throughout Scripture, we see prayers of all types, prayers of hope, prayers of desperation, prayers of praise, and prayers of discovery. For the authentic Christian, the highest calling we have is to commune with God through prayer in order to discover God’s will. Too often today, people are taught that prayer is a tool to use to fulfill our own requests. We are unabashedly taught that being selfish in prayer is the true purpose of prayer. The tragedy of this type of thinking is that it turns God into a genie, to be used for our purposes. In this book, author Fred DeRuvo explores the reality of prayer, the purpose of prayer, and the means to discovering God’s will. We are told to pray and we are told to pray ceaselessly. But are we told to pray this way to accomplish what we want accomplished, or what God wants accomplished? DeRuvo maintains that true prayer is prayer that seeks to discover God’s will for every situation. Once discovered, prayer can then be entered into to find the strength to fulfill God’s will for that day, hour, and situation. Prayer is one of the greatest weapons the authentic Christian has in order to overcome the onslaught of the enemy. Without it, we are defeated. Without a right understanding of it, we endanger our Christian testimony and witness. God wants us to pray. But He wants us to pray for HIS will, not ours.
