Lord, Teach Us To Pray

In Lord, Teach Us to Pray, Andrew Murray offers a concentrated meditation on Christ's instruction in prayer, especially as revealed in the Gospels and embodied in the Lord's Prayer. Written in the lucid, exhortative prose characteristic of nineteenth-century evangelical devotion, the book combines biblical exposition, spiritual counsel, and pastoral urgency. Murray treats prayer not chiefly as a religious duty but as participation in the life of Christ, placing the work within the broader tradition of Protestant spirituality and holiness literature. Andrew Murray (1828-1917), a South African Dutch Reformed minister, was one of the most influential devotional writers of his age. His ministry was shaped by revival movements, missionary concern, and a deep interest in the believer's union with Christ. These concerns inform the book's insistence that effective prayer arises from surrender, faith, obedience, and intimate discipleship under Jesus as teacher. This volume is recommended for readers seeking more than technique or inspiration: it is a disciplined guide to spiritual formation. Clergy, students of devotional theology, and lay readers alike will find in it a searching yet encouraging call to recover prayer as the central practice of Christian life.
