A Call to Prayer (Heidelberg Catechism, Lord's Day 45; Ephesians 6:18-19) by Rev. Angus Stewart
I. How Must We Pray?
II. For What Must We Pray?
A. W. Pink: “Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God’s thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honoured by our asking, just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing.”
John Owen: “If we would talk less and pray more about them, things would be better than they are in the world; at least, we should be better enabled to bear them.”
