With Christ in the School of Prayer - Andrew Murray

With Christ in the School of Prayer is a seminal 1885 work by Andrew Murray that serves as a theological and devotional guide to the art of intercession. The text is structured into thirty-one lessons, designed to lead readers through a month-long apprenticeship under Jesus Christ, the master teacher of prayer. Murray argues that prayer is the primary work of the Christian life and the essential channel through which God’s power is released on earth. Key themes include the necessity of abiding in Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit in empowering the believer, and the requirement of childlike faith to receive promised answers. The book emphasizes that effective prayer is rooted in a personal relationship with God as Father and requires total surrender to His sovereign will. Ultimately, Murray presents prayer not as a religious duty, but as a royal ministry of intercession that participates in Christ’s ongoing priestly work.
