Lessons from the School of Prayer – DA Carson

A Call to Spiritual Reformation by DA Carson is gold. In this very practical book, Carson uses the priorities from Paul’s prayers in the New Testament as a framework for fuelling intimacy with God through prayer. Before he gets into Paul’s prayers, he spends the first chapter with some wisdom that he’s learnt over the years from the wisdom of others.

Here are his 7 lessons:

  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
