Throughout the ages, the Holy Spirit has been consistent in the critical nature of prayer.
As it turns out, J.C. Ryle, in his last paragraph of "A Call to Prayer," reflects the purpose of "The Free Range Preacher on Prayer," podcast so we will listen to the last witness in this book.
"I want the times we live in to be praying times. I want the Christians of our day to be praying Christians. I want the church to be a praying church. My heart's desire and prayer in sending forth this tract is to promote a spirit of prayerfulness. I want those who never prayed yet, to arise and call upon God, and I want those who do pray, to see that they are not praying amiss."
We also hear from Martin Luther speaking of our personal need for prayer, Jonathan Edwards on the churches' need for prayer, and Andrew Murray on evangelism's need for prayer. We finish in reading John Calvin, exhorting us to learn worship and prayer through the book of Psalms.
"Or rather, the Holy Spirit has here drawn … all the griefs, sorrows, fears, doubts, hopes, cares, perplexities, in short, all the distracting emotions with which the minds of men are wont to be agitated. The other parts of Scripture contain the commandments which God enjoined his servants to announce to us. But here the prophets themselves, seeing they are exhibited to us as speaking to God, and laying open all their inmost thoughts and affections, call, or rather draw, each of us to the examination of himself in particular, in order that none of the many infirmities to which we are subject, and of the many vices with which we abound, may remain concealed. It is certainly a rare and singular advantage, when all lurking places are discovered, and the heart is brought into the light, purged from that most baneful infection, hypocrisy."
"What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."
