How to Pray

Dwight L. Moody 62

Daniel took his right place before God – in the dust – and he also put God in his right place. Likewise, it was when Abraham was on his face, prostrate before God, that God spoke to him. Holiness belongs to God; sinfulness belongs to us.

The more holy any person is, the more deeply he or she is affected by God’s holiness.

The more holy any person is, the more deeply he or she is affected by God’s holiness.




How to Pray | Dwight L. Moody

Let me refer you to a passage in the prophecies of Daniel. He was one of the men who knew how to pray; his prayer brought the blessing of heaven upon himself and upon his people.

He wrote, And I turned my face unto the Lord God, seeking him in prayer and supplication, in fasting and sackcloth, and ashes: and I prayed unto the Lord my God and made my confession and said, Now O Lord, thou great God who is worthy to be feared, who keeps the covenant and the mercy with those that love thee and keep thy commandments (Daniel 9:3-4).

The thought I want to call special attention to is conveyed in the words, O Lord, thou great God who is worthy to be feared.

Daniel took his right place before God – in the dust – and he also put God in his right place. Likewise, it was when Abraham was on his face, prostrate before God, that God spoke to him. Holiness belongs to God; sinfulness belongs to us.

Thomas Brooks, that grand old Puritan writer, said, “A person of real holiness is much affected and taken up in the admiration of the holiness of God. Unholy persons may be somewhat affected and taken with the other excellences of God; it is only holy souls that are taken and affected with his holiness.”


He said the more holy any person is, the more deeply he or she is affected by God’s holiness. “To the holy angels, the holiness of God is the sparkling diamond in the ring of glory. But unholy persons are affected and taken with anything rather than with this,” Brooks said.

“Nothing puts the sinner into a depression as much as a conversation on the holiness of God,” he said. “It is as the handwriting on the wall; nothing makes the head and heart of a sinner to ache like a sermon upon the Holy One; nothing galls and gripes, nothing stings and terrifies unsanctified ones, like a lively setting forth of the holiness of God.

But to holy souls there are no discourses that do more suit and satisfy them, that do more delight and content them, that do more please and profit them, than those that do most fully and powerfully discover God to be glorious in holiness.

Prevailing Prayer

Dwight L. Moody
The two first and essential means of grace are the Word of God and prayer. Conversion comes through these, for we are born again by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever.

A Kingdom Man Seeks Priceless Treasure

Tony Evans
Men, you have a choice. Jesus speaks of a treasure: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field,” He said (Matthew 13:44). It’s a treasure for which absolutely nothing should stand in the way.
He knows that the ones He loves will find life, ultimate meaning, purpose, and joy nowhere else.

El Kanna, Jealous God

Christopher D. Hudson
Divine jealousy isn’t motivated by greed or selfishness. God’s holy jealousy is rooted in a desire to protect, provide, and bless. He always and only wants what is best for His chosen ones. And what can be better than His perfect love?
Getting to know people takes time, and we need to see them in all kinds of situations and watch how they respond.

Choose Your Friends Carefully

Joyce Meyer
The company we keep is important because we tend to take on the traits of those with whom we spend a lot of time. Choose to spend time with people who will make you a better person.
knowing we have such an intimate relationship with God should lead us to respond with prayer, listening to his Word, and obedience.

Rooted in Love

Yechiel Eckstein
Christians and Jews differ on many points of theology, but we share this powerful bond—that we are called into an intimate, mutual, and loving relationship with God that requires us to seek his face daily in prayer, listen to his voice by studying his Word, and obey him.
If you don’t know who god is, humanity’s problem, or the promise god has made, the coming of Christ will seem like nothing more than a sentimental story.

Prologue: Raising the Curtain

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn
You hear that he is the Son of God, but you don’t know who god is. You hear that he will save his people, but you don’t know who his people are or what they need saving from! That is the position many people are in today.
