What Is Prayer About

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012

Prayer (1) Gideon’s Prayer Regarding A Fleece

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 7, 2020

Most commentators criticise Gideon, feeling that his prayer demonstrates a lack of faith. But given how positively the New Testament views Gideon, we should be inclined to take a positive view of his prayer. It's a very sensible prayer, and a great example to us.

Today we’re starting a short series on prayer, and looking at a prayer which Gideon prayed. It’s in Judges 6:36-40. Introduction First, let’s look at the situation Gideon was in before we look at his prayer. We may think, ‘We pray, God answers. Simple.’ But when we look at what was going on at ...read more

End Of Your Prayer Is The Beginning Of Your Prayer Life Series

What goes inside comes out. If through prayer you have allowed God to work out in your life, godliness and spiritual gifts ...read more

The Pattern of prayer Sometimes when we say something in worship perhaps we do not stop and think what we are actually saying and when we do we wonder what on earth do we mean by that? Even though we might have been saying the same things over and over again we do not really think about what we ...read more
