Thomas Watson on Prayer

31 BIBLICAL INSIGHTS FOR PIERCING HEAVEN WITH PRAYERPraying is more than just talking and hoping. It is a time to be forceful, persistent, effective, and spiritual! Thomas Watson understood this hundreds of years ago when he wrote and preached. In this modern version of his books and sermons, we can benefit from his keen insight and clever analogies as he paints a picture of how we can grow from people speaking words into the air into Christians who pierce heaven with their prayers.

He covers many different aspects of prayer, answering a lot of questions we may have:

How can I pray in faith?When should I pray?What is the difference between prayer and meditation?What does it mean to be violent in prayer?Is the Lord's Prayer necessary?Using Bible exposition to support his exhortations, Watson shows us that prayer is not a mystery but a necessity. It should not be a formality but a joy. By understanding who we are praying to, why we are praying, and what we are praying for, we can find a new passion in our prayers.

"When the arrow of a Christian's prayer is put into the bow of Jesus' intercession, it pierces the throne of grace." -Thomas Watson.
