The Prayers of a Builder: the apostle Paul's pattern of prayer

Seemingly hidden in plain sight from much of the Church, the apostle Paul's prayers form an authoritative and inspirational guide to praying according to the will of God. Paul, the "wise master builder," taught: "Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice." This instruction applies as much to Paul's praying as to anything else he preached or modelled. Christians who desire to see something in their own lives of Paul's exemplary consecration, love and fruitfulness, would be wise to learn to pray as he prayed. The Prayers of a Builder examines the pattern of persistent, loving, edifying prayer which undergirded Paul's exceptional ministry, and challenges readers to make these inspired prayers their own. Learning to pray as Paul prayed-for the same blessings, in the same spirit of selfless affection, with the same purpose of edifying the Body of Christ in love-will bring personal revival and help ready the Bride of Christ to meet her Lord.
