Discovering the Boundless Potential of Prayer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Prayer is loyalty to God. Non-praying is to reject Christ and to abandon Heaven. A life of prayer is the only life which Heaven counts. — Bounds Today we study a chapter from the work of E. M.

Praying Classic Prayers: Helping Guide Our Own Prayers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever sat in a prayer gathering and there’s that one intercessor who just seems to go deep in petitions before the Lord? They don’t pray just on the surface, and you can tell they’ve spent plenty of times laboring in prayers. That’s can be inspiring, or maybe discouraging, making our own praying seem a bit feeble, or so we think. It’s not about being eloquent, but about knowing the heart and will of the Lord.

The Power of Believing Prayer in Crisis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Scripture, there is one weapon given the Christian Church to bring the Lord’s aid, power, help, and deliverance in times of persecution and difficulty. We have this same divine weapon, which is often ignored and underused, and must be enlisted again and again. Let’s study the biblical account of Peter's miraculous rescue from prison through the power of earnest church prayer, drawing theological insights from Alexander MacLaren's commentary. So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for
