PREFACE

CAN PRAYER BE PROVEN TO WORK?

WHY MAKE REQUESTS OF GOD IF HE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT WE NEED?

DO OUR PRAYERS DEPEND ON HOW DEEPLY WE FEEL OR MEAN THEM?

ISN’T IT PRESUMPTUOUS FOR US TO BRING OUR CONCERNS BEFORE GOD?

HOW DOES PRAYER FIT WITH THE IDEA OF GOD’S PROVIDENCE? ARE WE ASKING FOR MIRACLES WHEN WE PRAY?

DOES PRAYER REQUIRE MORBID INTROSPECTION OF OUR SINS?

WHAT ARE TIPS FOR AVOIDING GOD AND PRAYER ALTOGETHER? (A DEVIL’S PERSPECTIVE)

PART 1: MAKE SURE YOUR PRAYERS ARE ESPECIALLY “SPIRITUAL”

PART 2: BELIEVE YOU ARE NOT A VERY GOOD CHRISTIAN

PART 3: TREAT PRAYERS AS TESTS OF GOD

PART 4: FOCUS ON YOUR OWN STATE OF MIND

HOW DOES PRAYER BECOME A REGULAR PRACTICE FOR US?

HOW CAN WE GET OUT OF OUR OWN WAY AND PRAY?

HOW DO WE MAKE SURE IT IS THE REAL “I” WHO STANDS BEFORE THE REAL “THOU” IN PRAYER?

HOW CAN WE BE LIKE DAVID AND PRAY WITH DELIGHT?

HOW DO WE MAKE SENSE OF WHAT THE NEW TESTAMENT TEACHES ABOUT PRAYER?

HOW DO WE PRAY WHILE GRIEVING?

CAN WE PRAY TO AVOID SUFFERING IF IT IS GOOD FOR OUR SOUL?

HOW DO WE STAY HOPEFUL WHEN GOD REPEATEDLY SAYS NO TO OUR REQUESTS FOR RELIEF?
