Resources for Prayer

Following the example of Jesus Christ, Christians ought to be favorably disposed to praying, talking to God at all times. Prayer: Talking to God at All Times is a God-inspired book of prayers directed to people who need to build up their confidence in praying to God. The book helps in focusing our prayers on specific needs or situations and its goal is to provide a guide to how to pray in order for God to transform us into committed prayer-warriors. Prayer and reading the Scripture are means of achieving spiritual transformation through the power of the Holy Spirit because there is power in the Word of God as well as in talking to God. If we read and allow the Word of God to be at work in us, and humbly go to God in prayer, marvelous things will happen in our spiritual life. Our faith in God will grow and our knowledge of him will increase. Prayer brings us to the awesome presence of God and we reap the benefits of spiritual growth.

Prayer is dynamic and people should exercise their spiritual freedom and confidence to talk to God and to listen to him when he speaks. When it is difficult to put words together, a guide, like Talking to God at all Times, becomes handy and helpful.

Prayer: Talking to God at All Times can be used as private and public prayers or in daily devotions. It can be used to pray for self or to intercede for others. The essential thing is to have the habit of talking to God at all times. Failure to pray is a serious deficiency in a Christian’s life. It hinders spiritual growth, it separates us from God, and it kills the spirit. For those who say they do not know what to say in prayer, Prayer: Talking to God at All Times can help them.

Our relationship with God is kept alive through spiritual communion known as prayer. How to pray and what to pray about have always been burning issues to grapple with as we grow and mature in spiritual life. Disillusion often sets in when as it were our prayers are not answered. Prayers of the Saints is an embodiment of issues which should fill the prayers of Christians in these last days. It reflects the will of God which should burn in the hearts of the believer in the place of both personal and communal prayer. These inspirations, which are expressed in a rather poetic form, were drawn from scriptural verses where spices and sweet-smelling trees were mentioned. For prayer is thus represented in the Book of Revelations. Themes such as the Church, Missions, Evangelism, Marriage, Family life, Nations, Christian living, Persecution, Offerings, Daily bread, communion, Revival, Eternal rest, Sin, and The Kingdom among other things are contained in Prayers of the Saints. Since the word of God inspires us to pray Bible passages are included, drawn from both old and new testaments in most cases. These can be used as a devotional guide. Prayers of the Saints will inspire both young and old alike to pray.

Today, the world is full of conflict. Many children and families are confused.

God’s power is made perfect in our weakness. This study shows readers that He can be trusted in all circumstances and that His wondrous power is made available to us through prayer.

Intercessory prayer connects God’s power with the needs around us. This type of prayer needs to be cultivated with passion and discipline. Using teachings that build on each preceding concept, author Debbie Przybylski shares how to expectantly and purposefully wait on God and identifies the obstacles that keep us from drawing close to His heart.

Beginning With Christ, designed for new believers, provides the format for telling others about salvation and the Christian life. Topics include assurance of salvation, answered prayer, victory over sin, forgiveness, and guidance. Includes Scripture memory cards.

Prayerwalking is simply praying in the very places we expect God to bring forth his answers. Prayerwalking is usually a low-profile affair: Friends or family stroll two-by-two through their own neighborhoods, schools, and work places, praying as they go. Once in a while the prayers can be demonstrative, but most prayerwalking is fairly quiet. It’s usually being on the scene without making one.

Without questions, this is “the” book on prayerwalking — especially for short-term and career missionaries. It’s written with a practical menu of proven ideas, blended with solid biblical material about on-site intercession. Stories and statements of more than a hundred prayerwalking Christians will ignite your imagination for your first steps, or help you enlist others to join you. 204-pg paperback.

Use this bookmark prayer card to pray over your pastors daily.

Keep your local church, its staff, church members, and visitors lifted up before the throne with these Scripture-based prayers.

Think of the little girls you know: your daughter, a niece, a friend's child. And then think about this: little girls are tossed away every day. In fact, statistics show that the world's most oppressed are overwhelmingly female. Moved by their plight, Kay Marshall Strom and Michele Rickett took a trip across continents to partner with ministries working to help females and to interview girls in some of the most difficult places in the world.

These pages hold those girls' stories: stories of deep pain and suffering, inspiring courage, and incredible hope. They are the stories of girls who have discovered their value in God's eyes, in the midst of cultures that have rejected them. They are stories of rescue and redemption by God working through compassionate people--people like you.

These pages might hold pieces of your story as well, as the authors invite you to pray and speak on behalf of the millions of women and girls who still need to know how much they're worth. For each of the five sections of the book--physical suffering, education, sexual protection, prison and war, and spiritual life--the authors provide specific, practical action steps and prayer points that allow you to get involved as God leads.

Opening these pages will open your eyes to situations you couldn't imagine, to places you've probably never been and to young girls--not so different from the ones you know--who are dearly loved by God. And our powerful God will help us as we read, speak and pray on their behalf, that the forgotten might become free.

Keeping a journal and prayer are very important keys to growth in any Christian's life. Tracking Your Walk is a cool tool to help young believers (ages 9 and up) develop these vital areas of their Christian walk.

This prayer guide brings to life the goal of "a church for every people and the gospel for every person." The 10/40 Window is the primary spiritual battleground in the world today. The very cradle of civilization is now the Church's final evangelistic frontier. In this window over 1 billion Muslims, 800 million Hindus, and 300 million Buddhists live in almost total isolation from the gospel of Christ.

An estimated 95% of the world's unreached people and 85% of the world's poorest of the poor live in an area referred to as the 10/40 Window. This region spans the globe from West Africa through East Asia between 10 degrees and 40 degrees north of the equator. Of its staggering 3.6 billion people, as many as 1.4 billion have never had the chance to hear the Gospel.

This intercessor's guide features maps and information on each nation, covering trends, religions, people groups, and historical background.

Pray with accuracy for the needs of the people, and break down the strongholds of the 10/40 Window.

Piper's Let the Nations Be Glad! has provided thousands of missionaries, pastors, and church leaders with a biblical basis for missions. Piper now offers a revised and expanded tenth anniversary edition of this sound, readable, and passionate defense of God's supremacy in all things.

Drawing on texts from the Old and New Testaments, Piper demonstrates that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship drives missionary outreach. He describes prayer as the fuel of missions work because of its focus on a relationship with God rather than the needs of the world. He goes on to illustrate that while suffering is the price of missions, God is worthy of any sacrifice. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and discusses the extent of the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means to reaching "all nations."

This revised and expanded edition contains updated references to contemporary literature and debates and new illustrations and quotations. This edition also boasts a new preface and a final section devoted to the practical outworking of compassion and worship. Included in this new section is a chapter encouraging passion for God's supremacy and compassion for man's soul, based on Jonathan Edwards's musings on the unity of motives for world missions. Concluding this section is a chapter containing Piper's reflections on New Testament worship as an inner reality more than an external form.

Let the Nations Be Glad! is essential reading for all those involved in or preparing for missions work and provides inspiring theological reflection for college and seminary students. This book also offers enlightenment for pastors, youth workers, those involved in campus ministries, and all who want to connect their labors to God's global purposes.

If God is all-powerful, why does He need us to pray? If we pray and nothing happens, does this mean that God isn't listening?

Paster and teacher Dutch Sheets explains the nuts and bolts of prayer, with wisdom, gentleness, and humor. This book will inspire you, give you the courage the pray for the "impossible", and help you find the persistence to see your prayers to completion.

Smack-dab on top of one of the greatest ethnic, religious, and political fault lines in the world, live the Azerbaijani people. 40 million in number, this Turkic Muslim ethnic group is spread across the country of Azerbaijan and neighboring Iran. Azerbaijanis are community-oriented people who find their identity in their families and villages. Many Azerbaijanis would consider themselves Muslims before anything else. Their strong feelings about being Muslim may come from a long-standing sense of competition and conflict with people groups that call themselves Christian - like Russians, Armenians, and Georgians. They are proud to offer hospitality, careful to maintain their honor, and hate to do anything that might bring shame on anyone close to them.

This prayer guide tells stories about Azerbaijani people and shares ways to pray for them and for what God might do among them.
