Description

"The Bible knows no such thing as casual prayer." This remarkable insight from David Thomas's CT Article about prayer and revival frames my reflections on contending prayer. To contend in prayer is to imitate Jesus, ancient Israel, and the Holy Spirit who groans to bring new life to creation. Is your prayer to casual? Will you contend? (NOTE: The reference to Isaiah 62:7 was correct; however, it should also include the preceding verse, which talks about watchmen who strenously intercede for God's people. Contemporary author referenced include Tyler Staton's Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, Timothy Keller's Prayer, and Richard Lovelace's Dynamics of Spiritual Life.)
