Synopsis

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for unto thee will I pray. – Psalm 5:2

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:

1. Adoration – We cannot meet God on a level at the start. We must approach him as one far beyond our reach or sight.

2. Confession – Sin must be put out of the way. We cannot have any communion with God while there is any disobedience between us.

3. Restitution – We have to make amends for the wrong, wherever possible.

4. Thanksgiving – We must be thankful for what God has done for us already.

5. Forgiveness – We must forgive others and pull any root of bitterness that might be growing.

6. Unity – Loving one another brings power in prayer.

7. Faith – There must be faith, which the preceding things produce.

8. Petition – 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.

9. Submission – After all these, there must come submission. While praying, we must be ready to accept the will of God.

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.

About Dwight L. Moody

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837–1899), American evangelist, was born in New England, the child of a large working-class family. A religious conversion as an adult led him to found a ministry in Chicago, to work as a battlefield missionary during the Civil War, and eventually to lead massive evangelical crusades during the 1870s and 1880s in both England and the United States. He founded Christian schools and a Christian publishing house, which published his many nondenominational evangelical tracts.

This is the third time I've read Prevailing Prayer in the past 40 years. Moody, one of the world's greatest evangelists, was a man of prayer who won hundreds of thousands to the Lord.

This is a classic work on prayer by one of the spiritual giants of the faith. DL Moody was the Billy Graham of... no, switch that. Billy Graham was the DL Moody of my parent's generation.
