IntroductionThe Adventure Awaits In his classic work With Christ in the School of Prayer, Andrew Murray pointedly writes, “Moses gave neither command nor regulation with regard to prayer: even the prophets say little directly of the duty of prayer. It is Christ who teaches to pray.”Jesus is our tutor and example in all things, and nowhere is that more clear than in our prayer lives. It is no exaggeration to say that prayer undergirded and preceded and empowered everything that our Lord did while He walked on this earth. He frequently spoke about prayer and even more frequently taught by example. It is a telling fact that “Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray. He did not speak much of what was needed to preach well, but much of praying well. To know how to speak to God is more important than knowing how to speak to man. Not power with men, but power with God is the first thing. Jesus loves to teach us how to pray.”How glad I am that He is still in the business of teaching His children how to pray! Although I have prayed since childhood, my praying habits have changed a great deal in the past few years. There is something different and new about my praying these days—and it is not hard at all to identify the reason for the change. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and very quickly prayer took on new meaning for me. I discovered a dimension to prayer that I had never known before. Jesus enrolled me in His intensive course on prayer and I became an eager learner. And what lesson struck home with most force?

I learned how to pray out of desperation. For most of us, this is how the adventure usually begins. When we finally get serious about prayer, the trigger is usually desperation, not duty. Andrew Bonar wrote in 1853, “God likes to see His people shut up to this. That there is no hope but in prayer. Herein lies the Church’s power against the world.”At least initially, serious prayer is almost always driven by necessity. We don’t pray because we ought, we pray because we are without any other recourse. I think God likes to see His people coming to Him in desperation and casting themselves upon His mercy! Jim Cymbala said something in his new book Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, that I can identify with: “Prayer cannot truly be taught by principles and seminars and symposiums. It has to be born out of a whole e
