Praying to Our Lord Jesus Christ by Benedict C.F.R. Groeschel Pdf

Personal devotion to Our Lord Jesus Christ is an essential component of authentic Christian spirituality. In recent decades skeptical approaches to theology and Scripture have tended to diminish our awareness of the need for personal devotion to Our Savior. This leaves people with a feeling of emptiness and isolation. Fr. Benedict has made this anthology of profound prayers, drawn from all of Christian history, available to those who experience a hunger for devotion. Beautifully illustrated with classic art, this book will be a valuable companion for personal prayer, for times of recollection, and even for those times of critical spiritual need. Readers wishing to grow in their devotion to Christ and increase their love for Him will find the prayers in this book helpful and inspiring. Ranging from the prayers of early Church martyrs and Fathers and including those of mystics and theologians, it provides an introduction to the Church's vast patrimony of twenty centuries of devotion to Jesus Christ. Fr. Groeschel adds his own insights throughout the book. This book, combining profound prayers with wonderful spiritual insights and inspiring art-makes a beautiful gift for all who would seek to know and love Our Lord Jesus better. Illustrated. "How important it is for us to try to grow with Jesus and increase our knowledge and love of Him. This book is meant to do exactly that. These prayers will help you understand how Christians throughout the ages have lifted their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ." - Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R.

The Power of Prayer and the Prayer of Power by Reuben A. Torrey Pdf

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. – Proverbs 15:8 Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God’s infinite grace and power. All that God is, and all that God has, is at the disposal of prayer; but we must use the key. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and since God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent. No one can stand against the person who knows how to pray, who meets all the conditions of prevailing prayer, and who really prays, and if they are willing to pay the price. The price is prayer, much prayer, much real prayer, prayer in the Holy Spirit. List of Chapters Ch. 1: The Power of Prayer Ch. 2: What Definite and Desirable Results Will Definite and Determined Prayer Produce? Ch. 3: What Prayer Can Do for Churches, for the Nation, and for All Nations Ch. 4: How to Pray So as to Get What You Ask Ch. 5: Who Can Pray so as to Get What They Ask? Ch. 6: Praying in the Name of Jesus Christ Ch. 7: The Prayer of Faith Ch. 8: Praying Through, and Praying in the Holy Spirit Ch. 9: Hindrances to Prayer Ch. 10: Prevailing Prayer and Real Revival

Through 365 inspiring days of reading and reflection, you’ll deepen your relationship with God as you learn to speak with him daily and make prayer the foundation of your everyday life.

Essentials of Prayer by Bounds Edward McKendree Pdf

“Henry Clay Trumbull spoke forth the Infinite in the terms of our world, and the Eternal in the forms of our human life. Some years ago, on a ferry-boat, I met a gentleman who knew him, and I told him that when I had last seen Dr. Trumbull, a fortnight before, he had spoken of him. ‘Oh, yes,’ said my friend, ‘he was a great Christian, so real, so intense. He was at my home years ago and we were talking about prayer.” “Why, Trumbull,” I said, “you don’t mean to say if you lost a pencil you would pray about it, and ask God to help you find it.” “Of course I would; of course I would,” was his instant and excited reply.’ Of course he would. Was not his faith a real thing? Like the Saviour, he put his doctrine strongly by taking an extreme illustration to embody his principle, but the principle was fundamental. He did trust God in everything. And the Father honoured the trust of His child.”—Robert E. Speer. Prayer has to do with the entire man. Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and body. It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man in its gracious results. As the whole nature of man enters into prayer, so also all that belongs to man is the beneficiary of prayer. All of man receives benefits in prayer. The whole man must be given to God in praying. The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself, all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God. This is the secret of full consecration, and this is a condition of successful praying, and the sort of praying which brings the largest fruits. The men of olden times who wrought well in prayer, who brought the largest things to pass, who moved God to do great things, were those who were entirely given over to God in their praying. God wants, and must have, all that there is in man in answering his prayers. He must have whole-hearted men through whom to work out His purposes and plans concerning men. God must have men in their entirety. No double-minded man need apply. No vacillating man can be used. No man with a divided allegiance to God, and the world and self, can do the praying that is needed. Holiness is wholeness, and so God wants holy men, men whole-hearted and true, for His service and for the work of praying. “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” These are the sort of men God wants for leaders of the hosts of Israel, and these are the kind out of which the praying class is formed. Man is a trinity in one, and yet man is neither a trinity nor a dual creature when he prays, but a unit. Man is one in all the essentials and acts and attitudes of piety. Soul, spirit and body are to unite in all things pertaining to life and godliness. The body, first of all, engages in prayer, since it assumes the praying attitude in prayer. Prostration of the body becomes us in praying as well as prostration of the soul. The attitude of the body counts much in prayer, although it is true that the heart may be haughty and lifted up, and the mind listless and wandering, and the praying a mere form, even while the knees are bent in prayer.

Praying the Bible Book of Prayers by Wesley Campbell,Stacey Campbell Pdf

Everyone learns to walk before they run and every believer learns to vocalize prayer before moving into sustained deep silences of communion with God. By Jesus' example, we know that He prayed the Scriptures aloud. Praying the Bible takes an old concept, the prayer book and gives it a modern twist: complete passages of Scripture laid out in sections of distinct prayer genres. Eight categories with 88 prayers enable readers to quickly reference the prayers of the prophets, the wisdom prayers, the prayers of Jesus, the apostolic prayers and more. The introductions to each section expand on each specific type of prayers and also include detailed instruction of how to pray that specific section. This is a prayer tool for both the novice prayer and the seasoned intercessor that provides discipline & focus.

The Secret and Power of Praying the Lord's Prayer by Sarah Kerubo Nyandoro Pdf

The Lord's Prayer--or the "Our Father," as it's sometimes referred to--is a prayer that was taught by the Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples after they had asked Him to teach them to pray. This prayer is widely known in all Christian churches, irrespective of the denomination. Many of us know and have memorized this prayer in our lifetime. The question that is answered in this book is, what was indeed in the Lord's mind when He taught them to pray in this manner? In this book, you will discover, as the writer also discovered, that the Lord's Prayer is a guide or a model that was meant to be followed daily, not just to be recited. The author explains how it is like a sketch map or a skeleton that needs tendons, ligaments, muscles, etc. or a scheme of work that has to be developed into detailed daily lessons. Each section in this book details in systematic succession, section by section, what each one of them means to us as we pray the Lord's Prayer. You will find Bible illustrations as well as real-life examples that the author uses to cultivate your desire to know the secret and the power that there is in praying the Lord's Prayer. God is the Father, and His plans are for good and not for evil. As a Father, He can say yes, no, or wait in response to our prayer. In all we do or desire, we should ask ourselves this question: who is going to be glorified after all is said and done. This enables us to search and remain humble in our commitment to the Lord, for God does not share His glory with anyone. In every kingdom, there is a ruler, and there are citizens. God takes the precedence of being King of our life to reign in us. It is the will of the King that gets done. Therefore, you will see in practicality how to let God's will be done in your daily life. Jesus, the bread of life, is our daily bread. You will see that the Lord did not only mean for us to ask for physical bread, but He indeed meant spiritual food as well. The question is, if indeed He meant for us to ask God to give us our daily food, won't that mean that only those who are poor are the ones to pray this portion? How can this portion of the prayer have meaning to a rich man who has no lack with food? Read on and discover. Forgiveness is for you who is forgiving, for it frees you from bondage. With God's help, forgiveness is possible. Jesus demonstrated it at the garden and at the cross. There is power in praying the Lord's Prayer. Read and know that power for yourself.

I Can Learn to Pray the Lord's Prayer the Prayer of the Kingdom by Winsome Walters Pdf

Appropriately, this absolutely fascinating book carries the title of the most perfect prayer we know - the one the Lord Jesus Christ Himself taught us to pray, to impart to us the true principle of spiritual prayer. I Can Learn to Pray - The Lord's Prayer - The Prayer of the Kingdom, is for anyone who wants to know God better as "Father." This book is unique for its simplicity and direct appeal to the deepest religious yearnings of mankind. It is, within itself, the answer to the heartfelt prayer of anyone who has expressed the dominant concern to "seek" but have not found the One in tune with the diverse challenges and joys of their life. Each chapter has instructional writings and thought-provoking meditations along with inspirational quotations from the Bible, and the writing is expressed in a Father-child interactive conversation. It is the book's intent that countless numbers of people will be guided to lives made happier, richer, and nobler by the wisdom gathered in its pages. Winsome Walters had an unlikely beginning for the Christian life. Her father, hard-working and devout, sternly reminded her, "I want my children to serve God." But although she was devoted to the ideals of her father's moral teachings, Ms. Walters was not prepared to commit to his exacting spiritual ambitions, and so she decided, I'll get away from God.and find my freedom. But when God wants to find you, He knows where you are - even if you're miles away spiritually playing hide and seek. As a result of a remarkable experience in her life, Ms. Walters gave her heart to the Lord. With exceptional tenacity she continues her love for Christ at an unstoppable pace. Her commitment to loving God, combined with the empathy, care, and love she has for those whom Christ died, has inspired her to write this book.

Praying the Psalms of Jesus by James W. Sire Pdf

At key moments in his life on earth, Jesus Christ, the very Son of God, turned to the Psalms for words to express his deepest thoughts and emotions. It is not hard to imagine Jesus, his mind and heart saturated with the words and thoughts of the Psalms as they were prayed aloud in the Temple, going off early in the morning to pray. How much must he have mouthed the words of the Psalms and given them a fulfillment? They became his answering speech to his heavenly Father. In these pages you will discover how the psalms that relate closely to the mission of Jesus can also become our answering speech. We will begin our journey into the mind of Christ by immersing ourselves in several psalms which Jesus himself refers to and fulfills. And then in the second half of the book, we will immerse ourselves in psalms that Jesus would have meditated on during his time on earth, focusing on the heart and mind of Jesus as he prayed the psalms. Structural analysis of each psalm will help us grow our ability to read the Psalms. The guided personal prayer liturgy with each chapter will help us go deeper in the experience of praying the Psalms. Through these psalms we will discover more of the human life of our Lord and Savior. And in the process we will discover more of who we are as we come before our holy God. Also included: a group discussion and prayer experience to accompany each chapter.

Future Grace, Revised Edition by John Piper Pdf

Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.
