Praying can be hard. It's hard to make the time to pray. It's hard to get up early, or go to bed later in an effort to draw close to God. It's hard when there are so many other things demanding time and attention. And it's especially hard when you are feeling spiritually dry and just don't know what to say or where to start.

We all know that not praying and drawing close to God results in a very superficial relationship with Him. Yet so often we fall into the trap of putting other things first. If you are feeling spiritually dry and just know it is because you are not spending time with your God, this book is for you. If you long to draw close to your Saviour but you are struggling with the words to say, again, this book is for you.

The complete series of Praying Through the Prophets is now available in one volume

Praying Through the Prophets (Daniel) is a compilation of prayers taken from John Calvin's commentaries on the Old Testament prophets. Each prayer has a scripture that can be read alongside, deepening your love and understanding for the Word. There is nothing so fulfilling as praying to God with a Bible open on your lap ready to listen and hear from Him.

Use these prayers as a springboard into your own prayer life. As you pray you will find yourself thinking of other things to pray about resulting in drawing close once again to your Savior. Putting God first and removing any idols that are taking His place will result in a wonderfully fulfilling relationship with the Lord, and which will have an impact on all around you.

The following is a prayer taken from the 'Daniel' volume

*Daniel 1:17 - 2:2 *

Grant, Almighty God, since every perfect gift comes from thee, and since some excel others in intelligence and talents, yet as no one has anything of his own, but as thou deignest to distribute to man a measure of thy gracious liberality, - Grant that whatever intelligence thou dost confer upon us, we may apply it to the glory of thy name. Grant also, that we may acknowledge in humility and modesty what thou hast committed to our care to be thine own; and may we study to be restrained by sobriety, to desire nothing superfluous, never to corrupt true and genuine knowledge, and to remain in that simplicity to which thou callest us. Finally, may we not rest in these earthly things, but learn rather to raise our minds to true wisdom, to acknowledge thee to be the true God, and to devote ourselves to the obedience of thy righteousness; and may it be our sole object to devote and consecrate ourselves entirely to the glory of thy name throughout our lives, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
