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.
