description:  DESCRIPTIONAfter all that has been spoken and written by godly men on prayer we need something better than that which is of mere human origin to guide us if we are to perform aright this essential duty. How ignorant and sinful creatures are to endeavor to come before the Most High God how they are to pray acceptably to Him and to obtain from Him what they need can be discovered only as the great Hearer of prayer is pleased to reveal His will to us. This He has done: (1) by opening up a new and living way of access into His immediate presence for the very chief of sinners; (2) by appointing prayer as the chief means of intercourse and blessing between Himself and His people; and (3) by graciously supplying a perfect pattern after which the prayers of His people are to be modeled. Note the wise instruction of the Westminster divines: The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in prayer but the special rule of direction is that form of prayer which Christ taught His disciples commonly called The Lords Prayer (The Westminster Shorter Catechism).
