Teach Us to Pray Stephen Kaung

"... Lord, teach us to pray ..." Luke 11:1 As the Lord's people, the church is called to pray--it is a calling, a right, and a great privilege. There is no calling or power greater than prayer. Prayer links the church to God. "Let thy will be done as in heaven so upon the earth." When the Lord burdens our heart to pray, we soon realize that we do not know how--it is not in us to pray. It causes us to turn to our Lord and cry out: "Lord, teach us to pray; we need to learn to take up Your burdens; teach us." In Richmond, Virginia, from February 1981 through October 1982, Stephen Kaung gave a series of messages on corporate prayer. During this period, he shared at the beginning of prayer meetings held every Wednesday evening. These spoken messages have been transcribed into this book. The spoken form has been preserved with only necessary editing for clarity. Some of the matters discussed for prayer are specific to the saints praying in Richmond; however, they are included because they contain principles that could be of help to all God's people.
