God-Shaped Prayer: A Theology and Practice of the Lord's Prayer
Prayer is incense, delivered by angels before the face of God, pleasing to him.
Prayer is the human response to God's being and activity. It is not so much an expression of human desires, though it often is that also. But God has determined the very nature of prayer-its functions, contents, and even its power. God-Shaped Prayer helps readers understand and appreciate the concept of prayer in its biblical-theological scope. As with God's own nature, prayer is ordered, Christ-centered, and sustained by the Spirit.
God-Shaped Prayer is an exposition of the Lord's Prayer framed in the popular ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) model of prayer. It combines practical guidance with biblical study and theology. It challenges Christians to abandon shallow, self-centered prayers and to pray with the saints throughout history, prayers that reflect God's holiness, covenant love, and the purposes of his Kingdom.
Above all, God-Shaped Prayer emphasizes Christ as the Mediator of prayer. Our prayers are not effective because of eloquence, persistence, or personal strength but because Christ has risen from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and intercedes continually for his people. God-Shaped Prayer reminds us that every prayer offered in Christ ascends like incense before the throne of God and is heard and answered according to his will.
