Prevailing Prayer

<p><em>Hearken unto the voice of my cry my King and my God for unto thee will I pray</em>. – Psalm 5:2</p><p>This book is a comprehensive study on the subject of prayer and will show you that there are nine elements which are essential to true prayer. These elements are as follows:</p><ol> <li><strong>Adoration</strong> – We cannot meet God on a level at the start. We must approach him as one far beyond our reach or sight.</li> <li><strong>Confession</strong> – Sin must be put out of the way. We cannot have any communion with God while there is any disobedience between us.</li> <li><strong>Restitution</strong> – We have to make amends for the wrong wherever possible.</li> <li><strong>Thanksgiving</strong> – We must be thankful for what God has done for us already.</li> <li><strong>Forgiveness</strong> – We must forgive others and pull any root of bitterness that might be growing.</li> <li><strong>Unity</strong> – Loving one another brings power in prayer.</li> <li><strong>Faith</strong> – There must be faith which the preceding things produce.</li> <li><strong>Petition</strong> – Thus influenced by the other things we will be ready to offer direct petition or requests to God. There needs to be more petition in our prayers.</li> <li><strong>Submission</strong> – After all these there must come submission. While praying we must be ready to accept the will of God.</li></ol><p>Dwight Moody expounds on these nine elements in this volume using illustrations and stories to validate what he is saying and to help make the truths in this book stick.</p><p><strong>About the Author</strong></p><p>Dwight L.
