Things DA Carson Learned From Others About Prayer

This list comes from the first chapter of DA Carson's book - "Praying With Paul". I am not going to include any explanation. I think just reading over the list itself may be a good impetus to prayer. 

1. Much praying is not done because we do not plan to pray. 

2. Adopt practical ways to impede mental drift. 

3. At various periods in your life, develop, if possible, a prayer-partner relationship. 

4. Choose models - but choose them well. 

5. Develop a system for your prayer lists. 

6. Mingle praise, confession, and intercession, but when you intercede, try to tie as many requests as possible to Scripture. 

7. If you are in any form of spiritual leadership, work at your public prayers. 

8. Pray until you pray. 

Soli Deo gloria!
