Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God, for unto thee will I pray. Psalm 5:2

This book is a comprehensive study on the subject of prayer, and will show you that there are nine elements which are essential to true prayer. These elements are as follows:

1. Adoration We cannot meet God on a level at the start. We must approach him as one far beyond our reach or sight.
2. Confession Sin must be put out of the way. We cannot have any communion with God while there is any disobedience between us.
3. Restitution We have to make amends for the wrong, wherever possible.
4. Thanksgiving We must be thankful for what God has done for us already.
5. Forgiveness We must forgive others and pull any root of bitterness that might be growing.
6. Unity Loving one another brings power in prayer.
7. Faith There must be faith, which the preceding things produce.
8. Petition Thus influenced by the other things, we will be ready to offer direct petition, or requests, to God. There needs to be more petition in our prayers.
9. Submission After all these, there must come submission. While praying, we must be ready to accept the will of God.

Dwight Moody expounds on these nine elements in this volume, using illustrations and stories to validate what he is saying and to help make the truths in this book stick.
