Oswald Chambers brings you a simple approach to prayer. It has little to do with getting what you need from God-and everything to do with God getting what He needs from you. In this refreshing approach to this important biblical principle, If You Will Ask helps you discover that prayer is intimate communication intended to bring the bride alongside her Bridegroom.

At the deepest level, the reason we pray is not for God to answer us, but for us to know who God is--to be intimately and powerfully connected to Him. If You Will Ask: Reflections on the Power of Prayer offers biblical truths and insights to help believers develop and nourish the life of God within them. It emphasizes the importance of God-centered prayer through total reliance on the Holy Spirit. This book encourages readers to reassess their personal prayer life, remove the boundaries that limit and interfere with their connection with God, and charge the atmosphere with the power of prayer. New updated-language edition.

12 Lectures on prayer by Oswald Chambers. Pretty deep. Not any easy read. (

Epigraph

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting (I Timothy 2:1-8).

Dedication

First words

Only when a man flounders beyond any grip of himself and cannot understand things does he really pray.
