the possibilities of prayer: annotated

＂The Possibilities of Prayer＂ by Edward McKenzie (E.M.) Bounds is an inspiring and deeply meaningful book focused on guidelines for establishing and maintaining a vital prayer life. Bounds expertly expresses that if we don’t ask, then we won’t receive - God’s promises are dependent upon our own prayers to Him. He also strongly emphasizes the importance of faith in prayer, which enables Christ to do great things.

No matter how small a worry or anxious thought in our lives may be, prayer can help to lift that burden off of us. Additionally, Bounds encourages readers to make specific requests to God in order for Him to respond with specific answers; He promises us He will do what we ask, as long as we abide in His son, Jesus Christ.

As one may expect from such a powerful and talented writer as E.M. Bounds, this book packs quite the punch! If you’re looking for ways to deepen your relationship with God or learn more about how you can help bring about His divine will through earnest prayer, then this book is definitely worth reading! The insight and wisdom provided within its pages are sure to motivate and encourage any believer who picks it up!
