Showing results for "The Prophet" in Prayer

The Prayers of the Prophets explores how God reveals His power, mercy, and purpose through the prayers of His people. Rooted in Scripture and guided by faith, this book combines two profound expressions of divine communication: the model prayer given by Jesus Christ and the heartfelt petitions of the prophets who spoke on behalf of nations.

At times, our chaotic world reveals hints of the utter brokenness in which we live, like a peek behind the veneer. As people of faith in a powerful God, we want to lift our faces to heaven to cry out or bury our face in our hands to whisper prayers. Either way we utter things like “God, please help,” “God, what are you doing?” “God, those people are terrible!” And we aren’t alone in those words we lift to heaven. In fact, our frustrating and exhausting experience with chaos, injustice, and corruption is much like that of the distressed prophet Habakkuk in the Old Testament.
