Prevailing Prayer: How to Practice Prayer; Praying for Forgiveness, in Petition, with Faith in God, and in Confession (Hardcover) - Hardcover

by D. L. Moody (Author)

Dwight Lyman Moody defines a Prevailing Prayer as one which involves the entire being of the person praying: the entirety of the mind is focused not upon material or life circumstances, but the very being of God. Such an effort to pray so deeply is difficult: Moody, himself an experienced evangelist and preacher, had encountered many Christians who struggled to attain depth and connection with the Lord during their prayers. This book intends to help the true believer attain a material closeness to the divine through prayer which prevails. It is ideal for devotional reading before and after your daily prayers, that the insights within remain in mind. To help his fellow believers, Moody quotes numerous stories from the Biblical scriptures together with personal anecdotes from his long career as a man of God. We also hear of incidents in the life of Jesus Christ, and the many obstacles He surmounted to teach humanity of God.
