The Secret of Prayer

BOOKS in almost countless numbers have been written on the subject of prayer, and yet there are justifiable reasons for adding another to the list.

There is an instinctive inclination in people who know God, or know about him, to call upon him for help in times of deep distress or approaching calamity, even though they may not often do so under more favorable circumstances.

Those who have yielded themselves to the Lord, and those who are seeking to know his love, have a longing desire to know how to approach him, and how to pray in order to have a knowledge that he hears and will answer. The import of this volume is to meet that demand by enabling the reader to form a more intimate acquaintance with the Lord, and to know better how to enter into a holy and sacred communion with him.

The scriptural references are given to aid in a further study of the subjects mentioned. In various chapters is to be found a repetition of scriptures and prayers, also, reference made to persons and circumstances previously noted. These repetitions have been purposely made in order to make the respective chapters complete within themselves, as a book of this nature is often read by the selection of separate chapters rather than continuously from beginning to end.

If, through what is herein written, the reader is enabled to better know how to pray and exercise faith in God, that he might receive the needed benefits and blessing promised in the Word, the author will feel that his efforts have not been in vain.

               Yours in Him,
