“If I am a single person and praying for Him to bring my future spouse, I don’t need to understand how I will find the right person. I just need to trust in the God who is able to bring us together. If I don’t know what to do in a difficult situation, I must trust the Lord to give me wisdom and direction.”
--Kent Crockett, Author
“If God Knows What I Need, Why Should I Pray?”
One of the weak areas in the Christian life, in the opinion of Kent Crockett is the lack of time given to, and explaining prayer to not only new converts, but to seasoned Saints. Too many in the Body of Christ don’t understand the function of prayer, or the true honor and privilege of prayer for one reason or another.
In his book: “If God Knows What I Need, Why Should I Pray?”(2016, Hendrickson Publishers Marketing LLC, 222 Pages), the subject is given a thorough examination. The chapters are short, and the questions and scripture citations are plentiful. Crockett comes at the subject as one who is seeking answers, and one who likes what he has found at the feet of God himself.
“One of the first things new believers should be taught is how prayer works and why we need to pray. I remember being told that I should pray, but no one person ever explained to me why I should pray. Understanding the reason why we’re doing any task is vital for keeping us motivated.”
--Kent Crockett, Author
Drawing from a variety of Bible translations, Crockett does bring home some food for thought on the subject. For some, the lack of attention paid to the KJV may be a turning-off point. However, the chapter structure of the book might just make up for this deficit. Chapters include: “The Natural Realm vs. the Spiritual Realm”, “How Heaven Sees Prayers”, and “The Four Purposes of Prayer”.
The book can be found at your favorite bookstore, or, may be found through your favorite on line book seller. This is a recommended work that will take the issue of prayer from the realm of mystery, and bring it into a needed reality for many.
