Oswald Chambers brings you a simple approach to prayer. It has little to do with getting what you need from God--and everything to do with God getting what He needs from you.
In this refreshing approach to this important biblical principle, If You Will Ask helps you discover that prayer is intimate communication intended to bring the bride alongside her Bridegroom.
By the author of My Utmost for His Highest.

It is the way for those who are not given a great welcome. It is the path of many delays, in which the erroneous ideas accumulated in life may be removed. It is the painful way of correcting the false beliefs and the false standards gathered along the road of life. It is the way of removing the seals that...
