In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, "Teach us to pray!" Most of us
want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used to offering
up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most effective way or if
we are approaching the throne of God in the "right" way. We ask
ourselves:
- How do I listen for God?
- How do I pray for healing?
- How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack?
- How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin?
- How do I pray for protection?
- How do I pray for my lost friends and family?
In Moving Mountains Study Guide, bestselling author John Eldredge
shows how we labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to
intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This faulty
assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask of God but
can't sense He hears us--or even cares. Rather, Jesus says, "I will give
you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will
be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in
heaven" (Matthew 16:19). When we operate from this position, we approach
prayer with far greater confidence. We understand we have a role in
making change happen and are not victims of circumstance--that we are
sons and daughters of God bestowed with tremendous authority.
