Lord, Teach Us To Pray — Ayo Ajani

They had watched Him still storms with a word. They had watched Him open blind eyes, raise the dead, teach with an authority no one could explain. And of everything they saw in Him, only one thing made them stop and ask Him to teach them.

Not how to heal. Not how to preach. Lord, teach us to pray.

They had lived inside the evidence of a prayer life they could not explain and did not have. And the gap they sensed is the same gap most believers live with today — the distance between prayer that fills the hours and prayer that fills the tomb with life.

This book closes that gap.

It is not a catalogue of techniques for prayer. It is a clear look at what prayer actually is, and what it is not. You will discover why prayer is not a religious exercise but a business transaction with the living God. You will learn the marks of Jesus’ own prayer life, and the four tools He embedded in the prayer He gave His disciples — devotion, intercession, petition, and warfare. You will come before God as both Father and Judge, learning when to petition and when to command, when to approach by relationship and when to stand on legal rights. And you will see what prayer does to the one who prays: as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered.

Every believer will come to a moment when no one else’s prayer will do. When the night is long, when heaven must be reached — and it must be reached by you. The question is whether you will have learned to pray before that moment arrives.

With much praying, the glory shall be revealed.

This book is an invitation to that glory.
