Teach me to pray -- Help me ask for help! -- Help me through my doubts -- Help me through my time of sadness and suffering -- Help me endure temptation -- Help me rest in God's love -- I believe - help my unbelief! -- Prepare my heart for the Lord's day and the Lord's table -- Take my life and let it be consecrated -- Help me give the gospel to others -- Forgive my sins -- Help me praise and thank the Lord -- Help me begin the day -- Help me live the day -- Help me close the day -- Your kingdom come.
The Puritan combination of warm piety and careful intellect have fueled a renaissance of interest in their movement. This combination is on display in Piercing Heaven, a collection of carefully selected prayers from leading Puritans. The language in these prayers has been slightly updated for a modern audience while retaining the elevated tone of the Puritans. With prayers from Richard Baxter, Thomas Brooks, John Owen, and many more, each entry reminds us that heartfelt prayer is central to the Christian life. -- Publisher's description
