Some have been discouraged because they have had the feeling that prayer is a fruitless ritual with no evidence of tangible results. Many more have just simply quit the practice and avoided any opportunity to participate in it. If we wish to be honest, more among us than not are suffering from a silent disillusionment with our experience of this ritual called prayer. We have asked ourselves: Dos it really work? Is someone listening? Does it make a difference? Can it truly change circumstances? While prayer is so common, it is also mysterious and misunderstood. It seems as if it is the most commonly practiced unknown on planet earth. Scores of books have been written on the subject in every generation. Conferences and seminars are held everywhere to explore the mysteries of this ancient art called prayer. Despite all the questions, confusion, and uncertainty surrounding prayer, though, it is still the greatest common denominator among all the great biblical characters and thousands of believers throughout history. Moses practiced it. Abraham practiced it. King David, Solomon, Esther, Deborah, Daniel, Joseph, all the prophets--and, of course Jesus Christ Himself--had dynamic and profound commitments to lives of prayer.Their records show the direct impact of their prayers on their lives and on the circumstances and situations they faced. The evidence affirms that one thing is sure: NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT PRAYER, SOMEHOW IT WORKS. The real question is not one of whether prayer is valid or effective, but rather, DO WE UNDERSTAND THE ART AND KNOW HOW IT WORKS? It is this challenge that we will embrace in this work as we explore the principles and precepts established by the Creator regarding prayer and discover the KEYS to unlocking the purpose and power of this common, yet uncommon, divine art. Let us begin by taking a journey through the land of doubt, shedding the skepticism, and activating the most awesome power every human being possesses: THE POWER TO INFLUENCE EARTH FROM HEAVEN THROUGH PRAYER.
