Preface
About this book
Thirty-one lessons, each opening on a word of Jesus about prayer, written under Murray’s conviction that the place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood. He traces the Lord’s teaching step by step — from “Lord, teach us to pray” to the promises of the last night — and presses one plain truth: that God means prayer to have an answer. Its end is intercession, the Church’s highest work, and Christ himself, the ever-living Intercessor, as the life of our praying. A closing note on George Müller shows the lessons lived.
THE disciples had been with Christ, and seen Him pray. They had learnt to understand something of the connection between His wondrous life in public, and His secret life of prayer. They had learnt to believe in Him as a Master in the art of prayer—none could pray like
