Praying is Working

by G. H. Lang; 48 pgs.

Does your prayer require strength or provide strength?

In this book,  Lang shares his rich and practical insights showing both how we work with God in prayer and how He works upon us in prayer. The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man (James 5:16) depends not on finding reason in ourselves why God should regard our prayer, but rather on abundant faith in what Christ is to His Father, and thus drawing near to God through Him and His powerful name.

Does Jacob’s wrestling with God speak of wrestling with God in prayer?

No. While wrestling, he hindered God. It was when his own strength was crippled that he instead clung to God, made supplication, and only then received His blessing. 

-Thus, much of God’s dealing with us is to reduce our strength and self-confidence.

By practicing to pray concerning all the small things,  we build up the habit and instinct to pray, which easily operates when more serious affairs or emergencies arise.

G. H. Lang was born November 20, 1874 in London, England. He died at Wimborne, Dorset, England October 20, 1958. He was saved at a young age when he was seven and a half years old. His writings include fourteen major books and innumerable booklets. He once said, "No man should write a book until he is forty. He needs to prove his theories in practice before publishing." All but nine of his many books were published after he was fifty years old.
