Synopsis

Prayer is the master key that opens the door to the blessings of God. It opens the heart, opens possibilities that are impossible by natural means, and opens the door to God’s presence. Through a particular and persistent kind of prayer, peace and power flow from God into our lives. The problem is that many people have an experience of prayer that is dull, unimaginative, and lacking power. Their prayer yields few answers and little peace. Jesus’s disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” Hearing Jesus pray, they knew that they needed to learn how to pray on a deeper level in order to see the miracles and transformation of persistent prayer. In the same way, we need to learn the conditions of prayer that prevail so that we can walk in faith, expect answers, and give thanks even before prayer is answered. In Prayer Power: 40 Days of Learning to Pray Like George Müller, author Brent Patrick McDougal invites you to take a forty-day journey to discover that kind of prayer. Each day features a teaching from Scripture and a story from the life of nineteenth-century pastor George Müller, one of the great heroes of our faith. Over a lifetime of ministry, Müller launched multiple orphanages that cared for more than 10,000 children. But not once did he ever ask for donations. Instead, he prayed as each need arose. Prayer Power teaches everyday people of faith how to pray with the faith of George Müller, expecting answers because our good God is waiting to meet and reward those who seek Him.
