Five Smooth Stones for Prayer Warriors

Have you ever found yourself in a difficult situation, and you want to pour your heart out to the Lord in prayer but don't know what to pray? Do you ever set out to pray with the best of intentions, only to find your mind wandering and very little prayer taking place? Help is on the way! There is a prayer recorded in chapter 4 of the book of Acts that was uttered by the earliest local church in history during a time when the heat of spiritual battle was being turned up on them to frightening levels. It is a model of effective prayer. In fact, God showed up in a powerful way as a result of it. What might we learn from this prayer that could help us in our prayer lives today? This book examines that Acts 4 prayer and finds five truths that guided the praying of those who prayed it. It likens those five truths to the five smooth stones David took with him into battle against Goliath. Our battle may be different than David's was, for ours is not against flesh and blood. The battle we face is against the world, the flesh, and the devil. But we, too, need weapons—weapons of prayer. Five such weapons and how to wield them are explained in this book. May it help you learn to pray with greater depth and focus.
