Jesus said that “apart from Him we can do nothing”. I wonder whether we, His followers, have ever felt the full force of the word “nothing”. And to the extent we do, we will pray, as individuals and as churches. So throughout my 36 years of preaching in one local church, I called the people ( myself above all) to pray, in private and together. These are a few of the literally dozens of messages on prayer that it was my privilege to prepare, preach and practice.
