With Christ in the School of Prayer is a world acknowledged classic on prayer. This is an easy-to-read 64 page synopsis of the book, largely using Andrew Murray’s words. The original book was written by Murray in 1885.
“If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
Andrew Murray • 1885 • A Classic on Prayer
Our world seems to be coming apart at the seams.
Values we have always counted on are increasingly undependable. Alliances between countries are deteriorating. There are wars and rumors of wars. Fear and anxiety about the future steal our wellbeing. Financial fears grip our soul. Even our weather is increasingly unstable.
“In this world there will be trouble. But I have overcome the world.” — John 16:33
Trials and difficulties are an unavoidable part of human life. But how do we find the peace our hearts long for? How do we pray so that we receive answers from the Lord?
“Many complain that they don’t have the power to pray in faith, to pray effectively. Jesus is waiting and longing to teach them this.”
Andrew Murray
From The Preface
What This Book Will Do for You
“It is under a deep impression that the place and power of prayer in the Christian life is too little understood that this book has been written. If we look on prayer chiefly as the means of maintaining our own Christian life, we shall not know fully what it is meant to be.
But when we learn to regard it as the highest part of the work entrusted to us - the root and strength of all other work - we shall see that there is nothing that we so need to study and practice as the art of praying aright.”
Andrew Murray
“Christ teaches us to pray not only by example, by instruction, by command, by promises, but by showing us Himself, the ever-living Intercessor, as our Life.”
Andrew Murray
“When we believe this and go and abide in Him for our prayer-life, our fears of not being able to pray aright will vanish. We shall joyfully and triumphantly trust our Lord to teach us to pray.”
Andrew Murray
“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
— John 15:7

The Power of Prayer
God means prayer to have an answer.
“Power with God is the highest attainment of the life of full abiding. The Father waits to hear every prayer of faith, to give us whatever we ask in Jesus’ name.”
Andrew Murray
“It has not entered the heart of man to conceive what God will do for His child who gives himself to believe that his prayer will be heard.”
Andrew Murray
“May God open our eyes to see what the holy ministry of intercession is, to which, as His royal priesthood, we have been set apart. May He give us a large and strong heart to believe what mighty influence our prayers can exert.”
Andrew Murray
