Equipping for Prayer

I appreciate John Whitsett's sharing his doctoral dissertation on corporate prayer.  I believe we can bless one another with the resources God leads us to develop.  His gesture spurred me on to share a training resource. I've written a booklet on prayer entitled, Why Do We Pray? (32 pages), as part of a series called "Basics of the Faith."

The Prayer of Jehoshaphat

How many parents have sat with their children after an ordeal of some sort and said something to the effect, "I hope you learned something from that"?  We don't want our children to miss the lessons, the opportunity for growth and maturity.

Need Words? The Case for Corporate Prayer

Posted by Stanley D. Gale on February 18, 2012 at 12:07

Do you ever have trouble praying?  Maybe you don’t know what to say.  Or what you do say sounds like you pushed the replay button. You even get bored with your prayers.  Or maybe the problem is motivation.  You have the best intentions but actually getting around to prayer is a different matter.

 
God has an answer. It’s called corporate prayer.  Corporate prayer is where you gather with other believers around the throne of grace to pray…
