Prayer by the Book

Prayer is essential for a relationship with God and for a good life. The Scriptures tell us to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and assures us that “the prayer of the upright is God’s delight” (Proverbs 15:8). He hears us as we pray according to his will: “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14). True effectiveness in prayer comes not from human wisdom, but from following God’s instruction and aligning with his will as is revealed in the Bible. This class explores the biblical teachings and examples of prayer and recognizes it as the foundation of our personal relationship with God and a vital key to living a blessed, godly life.
