What is the one thing that "puts God to work"? Prayer! In response to His children's prayers and petitions, God has promised to answer, to do, and to give us "all things whatsoever." E. M. Bounds expounds on God's need of people who pray. He explains why prayer moves God to act, how busyness in church activities can hinder prayer, why Jesus could not dispense with prayer, how the early apostles gave themselves to prayer, and why prayer is essential in God's kingdom. Includes inspiring sketches of the prayer lives of dedicated Christians, such as David Brainerd, George Müller, and Jonathan Edwards. This journal edition includes room for readers to reflect and add their own prayers.
