This study approaches prayer almost mechanically.

Anyone who seeks a prayer life guided by Scripture will not take this study seriously. Prayer is based upon a relationship, namely a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and prayer is itself a part of that relationship. And relationships cannot properly be evaluated by scientific methods.

Prayer without study would be empty. Study without prayer would be blind.

I had three objectives when I conducted the study. Number one, this was not unlike doing a study for a business project - is there going to be a demand? Number two was, is this a good product? In other words, is the staff there, the organizational capacity? And last was the financial viability. If there's no income, it doesn't work.

Satan will always find you something to do when you ought to be occupied about that [regular, prayerful Bible study], if it is only arranging a window blind.

The most important thing we can pray about for others is that they will know God better and that He will help them understand His will, grow in spiritual wisdom, and live lives that honor Him. We can pray that they will become more like Him and bear the fruit of His Spirit.
