This work consists almost entirely of Scripture, arranged under various headings, to help Christians to pray in harmony with the truth of God, revealed in his Word. First published three hundred years ago, it has been revised and updated by O. Palmer Robertson to allow the language of prayer to be expressed in today&#8217;s idiom. It is sent out in the confidence that God will continue to honour his own Word, as it is redirected back to him in the form of heartfelt prayer.<\/p>\n<h3>Mark Johnston on <em>A Way To Pray<\/em><\/h3>\n<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9\"><iframe title=\"Cultivating and Sustaining a Prayer Life\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BqoNGoDJZUU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Contents and Introduction<\/td>\n<td>ix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Appreciation<\/td>\n<td>vii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Introduction<\/td>\n<td>xi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>How to Read This Book<\/td>\n<td>xvii<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Praise<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>Confession<\/td>\n<td>23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>Petition<\/td>\n<td>61<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Thanksgiving<\/td>\n<td>89<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>Intercession<\/td>\n<td>129<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>Prayers for Particular Occasions<\/td>\n<td>155<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>Concluding Our Prayers<\/td>\n<td>189<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>The Lord\u2019s Prayer Expanded<\/td>\n<td>195<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>9<\/td>\n<td>Shorter Forms of Prayer<\/td>\n<td>221<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>A Short Summary of Prayer Topics<\/td>\n<td>265<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>An Expanded Summary of Prayer Topics<\/td>\n<td>273<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Subject Index<\/td>\n<td>299<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Review<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/haroldcameron.wordpress.com\/2012\/03\/26\/a-way-to-pray-by-matthew-henry-edited-by-o-palmer-robertson-this-book-teaches-a-way-to-pray-the-way-to-pray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Review by Harold Cameron<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/banneroftruth.org\/us\/resources\/book-review-resources\/2011\/review-way-to-pray\/\">Review by Alan Hill<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0v1ARUMlpEg\">Video Review by Matthew Everhard<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ligonduncan.com\/a-way-to-pray-scripture\/\">Helps For Reading from Ligon Duncan<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Biblical Method for Enriching Your Prayer Life and Language by Shaping Your Words with Scripture,\u2019 edited and revised by O.
