What Makes a Great Prayer? Let This GREAT Saint Show YOU!!

In consideration of the seeming ineffectiveness of this generation of Evangelical Christians to make a significant impact for Christ on this nation and in world missions (only 3% of new missionaries attempt to go to parts of the world that have never heard the gospel), this episode of 2Days Denarius examines the cause of this problem as a manifest lack of true commitment to prayer by the church and/or prayer focus on extra-biblical matters. The approach in dealing with this problem comes from looking back at a prayer by John Calvin from his commentary on the book of Daniel and dissecting what makes it a great prayer. Between reading Scripture (with focus on prayers in the Bible), reading the written prayers by heroic believers of the past, and being mentored by known prayer warriors in the church, Christians who want to grow in commitment to greater devotion in prayer can utilize these options to enhance their walk with God, pray for the church, this nation, and world missions, and perhaps, as a result, even make a lasting spiritual impact in these areas to reach the world for Christ. This lesson gives challenge to Christians to come out of their lethargy and fill the greatest need of this generation:  an army of committed PRAY--ERS to stand in the gap in these days of intense spiritual warfare. Your comments are welcome!
