Purpose in Prayer

"God shapes the world by prayer."

As The Sunday School Times aptly describes, Edward McKendree Bounds "was a specialist in prayer, and his books are for the quiet hour, for careful meditation, and for all who wish to seek and find the treasures of God." Renowned for his profound insights into the sacred discipline of prayer, Bounds beckons readers into a transformative journey of communion with the Divine.

In this work, Bounds invites readers to transcend the mundane and discover the divine purpose behind every prayer uttered. With meticulous wisdom, he unveils prayer not as a mere ritual but as a dynamic exchange with the Creator-a conduit through which divine purposes are realized, hearts are transformed, and destinies are aligned with the eternal.

Through the pages of this timeless classic, readers are invited to embrace prayer as a sacred journey-a journey that illuminates the path to spiritual growth, empowers believers to fulfill their God-given calling, and ignites a revolution of love and compassion in a world longing for redemption.

As you delve into the depths of "Purpose in Prayer," you will be captivated by the transformative power of prayer to shape history, change hearts, and usher in the kingdom of God. From the fervent prayers of biblical patriarchs to the testimonies of modern-day saints, Bounds illustrates the purpose of prayer as the very heartbeat of the Christian faith.

Whether you are a novice in the realm of prayer or a seasoned intercessor, this book will guide you into a deeper understanding of prayer's purpose-a reality where every petition becomes an instrument of divine grace, every supplication a step toward God's perfect will, and every moment spent in prayer a sacred encounter with the living God.

"THE more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil everywhere. Prayer, in one phase of its operation, is a disinfectant and a preventive. It purifies the air; it destroys the contagion of evil. Prayer is no fitful, short-lived thing. It is no voice crying unheard and unheeded in the silence. It is a voice which goes into God's ear, and it lives as long as God's ear is open to holy pleas, as long as God's heart is alive to holy things.

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed in death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world."
