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 this eight-session video Bible study (guide sold separately),
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.
