The Art of Prayer: How to Pray for God's Presence and Strength
()
About this ebook
The Bible is full of prayers. From his earliest existence, man used prayer as a primary mode of communication with God. Prayers were made for different reasons. Prayer is an essential component to the believer’s walk with the Lord. Through prayer Christians communicate with God and receive strength. Therefore, a consistent prayer life is important. In this book, we will examine Asa's prayer for God's presence and strength. Asa's example in prayer should give us insight into the Art of Prayer. His example should encourage us to call upon the name of the Lord in times of opposition and testing.
