Synopsis

Can there be anything more destructive to our faith than constant failure in prayer? Tozer writes, “Most prayer is like forever turning a key on a dead battery, and the starter does not even whine … God does not want us to pray like that.” This shotgun approach to prayer, whereby we spray a hundred requests heavenward with hopes that a few might actually be answered, was rightly taken to task by G.D. Watson’s cryptic remark, “If you had a carpenter who hammered away and only hit the nail once in twenty times, you would discharge him.” Likewise, this kind of praying should be dismissed immediately, and should then be replaced by effective praying.

Believers may be earnest and honest in the prayers they say, but there is an enormous difference between saying prayers and praying. To speak to God from our own minds is one thing. To have a prayer birthed in us by the Spirit and then borne by him to the Throne Room of the universe is another. We must be clear on what effective prayer is, and isn’t. This book examines the purposes of prayer, the problems of prayer, and the methods for prevailing prayer.
