Let Us Pray

This small volume was an encouragement to me that will help me in my prayer life. He has lots of ideas about prayer, apparently from personal experience: Praying according to God's will and praying only for His will is indeed a self-denying work. Unless we are completely weaned from ourselves, having not the slightest interest of our own, but living absolutely for the Lord and seeking only His glory, we will not like what He likes, nor seeks what He seeks, nor pray what He wants us to pray.

Without doubt, to work for God with no self- interest, is very difficult; but the pray for Him without any self-interest is even harder May 28, Jonathan rated it liked it. However, I recommend not taking Nee's scriptural interpretation and theology at face value. Read with a careful and discerning attitude, always going to the bible and reading his quotes in the context of the larger passage. For example, in the first chapter he quotes Isaiah Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. What God does in heaven is commanded by our prayers on earth.

He is awaiting our commands. The KJV translation is misleading on its own, but when you read the passage in its context, you can see that God is not telling us to command him, but rather God is clearly saying that it is not our place to question or command him.

This egregious error compelled me to double check all of his scriptural usage, which I believe is always a good thing when reading.

Regardless, there are good principles to carry away, but please read very carefully. Jan 15, whichwaydidshego? Honestly, for most of this small book I largely disagreed. So much so that I wrote all sorts of arguments spelling out said disagreements in the margins. Somehow that kept me wanting to read it - waiting to see how next I'd be annoyed enough to spell it out. However, toward the end I found some real gems of wisdom.

Not only that, these gems spoke to what I've been facing in the last few years giving me a new and important perspective. So much so that I feel I might begin to be free of much of th Honestly, for most of this small book I largely disagreed.

So much so that I feel I might begin to be free of much of the worst of it. So in the end I'm pleased to have persevered to read through it. Jan 04, Brian rated it liked it. Apr 04, Ron Mackey rated it really liked it. Decent Foundational Principles Pray consistently, fervently, and with empathy for others. Pray from faith and for God's glory. Pray for God's will to be done in specific ways, for we do not have because we do not ask. God loves to bring us along the journey and include us in His works.

Great message from the author. However, the author failed several times by using words like "always" and "never". He declared simple truths as absolutes! Additionally a large portion of the book was about fighting Decent Foundational Principles Pray consistently, fervently, and with empathy for others.

Additionally a large portion of the book was about fighting the devil. The devil is not omnipotent or everywhere at once. I highly doubt he would ever attack the average Christian, but rather a church leader or someone who is having a huge impact. If the author fixed the latter mistakes then I would bump my rating to a four!

We have been praying amiss but once you have read this book, there should be no stopping us in defeating the devil in all areas of our lives! Feb 26, Jennifer Malech rated it it was amazing.

Perhaps plenty to disagree with too, but even in the disagreeing the thought provoked makes it worthwhile. Oct 26, Angel rated it liked it Shelves: Gran parte del inicio del libro trata de la relevancia de la oraci Publicado originalmente en: Dios se recrea grandemente poniendo todas sus obras bajo el control de su pueblo. Dentro de estas explicaciones el autor ofrece los paralelismos de estos personajes con nosotros como hijos de Dios, el enemigo y Dios. Considero que es bueno conocer al enemigo para ser efectivos en la batalla, sin embargo considero de igual o mayor importancia conocer mejor a nuestro aliado para saber de lo que somos capaces.

Jul 30, Alexis Neal rated it did not like it Shelves: Nee's theology of prayer is unsettling, and could be taken to diminish the sovereignty of God in this fallen world. His heavy focus on satan is also troubling, but perhaps not surprising given his very real experience of persecution and spiritual warfare.

He is also prone to repetition. Lots and lots of repetition.

Still, he believes passionately in the power and importance of prayer, and I can support that, even if I don't agree with his ideas about the role prayer play Extremely underwhelming. Still, he believes passionately in the power and importance of prayer, and I can support that, even if I don't agree with his ideas about the role prayer plays in effecting the will of God. Oct 29, Paul rated it it was ok. Nee's many references to God's "need", God's desire for us to "command Him", and similar statements troubled me. Other parts of the work were moderately insightful.

For example, Nee's emphasis on the importance of burden in prayer and his identification of the enemies tactics in preventing prayer were helpful. Oct 24, Lisa Blair rated it it was amazing Shelves: Paraphrased quote, "God's will is like a train. Whereas our prayers are like the train rails. Trains are powerful and can travel in any direction, but it must run on rails. God is powerful, but He chooses to be governed by our prayers. All valuable prayers lay rails for God.
