together and categorized. Bible Prayer Pray-ers lists references
only of all the prayers and every pray-er in the Bible within three
separate lists: pray-er sequence, Biblical sequence, and category
sequence. God's Book of Prayers and The Lord's Prayers both also
contain all the prayers of the Bible. God's Book of Prayers
separates each into nine categories for convenient reading, while
The Lord's Prayers lists them in biblical sequence, with an
exhaustive concordance of major words or phrases. These volumes
will help you to easily be able to pray God's own words. Most of us
already use the Lord's Prayer, so why not use all of The Lord's
Prayers? See all of God's Prayers inside and be a Bible Prayer

WARNING This is a propaganda book. I realize the word propaganda is
not a word that is politically correct today. But in its original
usage, it was a word coined by Pope Urban VIII. He formed the
College of Propaganda in the 17th century in order to spread the
Christian faith. In this sense, I AM striving for propaganda. Much
of what I write in this book is meant to cause you to embrace
prayer as a friend as well as a vital tool of your faith. Prayer is
not boring; it is an adventure. I begin with the confession that
there is probably nothing else in my spiritual life or disciplines
I have struggled with more than prayer. I have read thousands of
books on the subject (yes, an exaggeration), and I have been
reluctant to add yet another literary work to the chaos of
differing opinions, theological studies, and sure-fire
methodologies that will guarantee a successful prayer life. Right
And yet, as I pondered the direction of this volume, it dawned on
me that my personal journey has had little to do with theology or
methodology. It hasn't even had much to do with verbiage. But it
had and has everything to do with my honestly and openness before
God and with what's happening in my heart at the time I'm praying.
And it has everything to do with the words of Jesus--"Come to Me,
all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly
in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." Our Lord wants us
to pray. Always and about everything. During times of joy as well
as sorrow. He wants us to talk to Him...not about Him. I've asked
myself the question often lately--"Do I pray out of thoughtfulness
or habit? What can I do to get my heart involved as well as my
mouth?" I continue to struggle. May these writings help you in your
struggle. May you enjoy your journey through the school of groaning
in the days and months to come. God bless you.

an instruction manual. It is a personal love letter from God to his
believers containing very specific promises.
God's answer seeks to link your concerns with his promises and
help you pray back the Scripture, his own words, to Him.

There is--or at least ought to be--power in prayer. The Bible,
after all, is filled with stories of people who prayed and saw
amazing results. Jesus, our Discipler, besides praying often and
with the clear expectation of results, taught us "to always pray
and to never give up." Yet, too many of us of lack the power to
pray consistently and effectively. Prayer is often a duty seldom
performed, instead of a living experience of connecting with
heaven's power. The Bible's true statement, "Faith without works is
dead," is also true when turned backward: an absence of prayer in
our life demonstrates the absence of faith in our heart ... faith
in the actual effectiveness of prayer as the Bible describes it: If
we pray, God will act; if we don't pray, he won't.
The sole aim of Power to Pray is to increase this faith in all
of us, so that our Father, who eagerly waits for us to pray, can
act on earth as in heaven. The rest is up to you ... and the Holy
Spirit. My prayer is that the immense purposes of God will be
accomplished through your simple prayers.
"If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal
their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14
God invites His people to pray and promises healing and
forgiveness in response to those prayers. But how many Christians
pray as the Bible teaches? This practical guide delves into the
discipline of praying, seeking to help you understand the
privilege, power, and purpose that can be derived from prayer.
In The Uncommon Book of Prayer, Reverend Larry W. Ellis explores
Jesus's model of prayer and why it must become our primary focus.
Based on his belief that the ministry of prayer is no longer common
among God's people, Reverend Ellis clearly explains how prayer has
great power to change circumstances. Believers can improve their
personal lives, change the condition of their communities, improve
the economies of their nations, and ultimately bring hope to the
world-all through prayer.
Each chapter includes questions for reflection and suggests
ways to add discipline to prayer life. Making prayer a daily
practice will ultimately bring you into a more intimate
relationship with God.
