To my grandchildren Maddox, Annie, and Hawkins Tate,
and to all my descendants yet to be born.
He commanded our fathers that they should teach them to their children, that the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born, that they may arise and tell them to their children, that they should put their confidence in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments. (Psalm 78:57)
Do we really need another book on prayer? Yes, if that book addresses issues that arent mentioned in the many other writings on this subject. If praying is a dreaded duty for you or if you arent seeing worthwhile results, this book will challenge you to reexamine how you pray.
Before you can pray correctly, you must first realize that you might be praying incorrectly, and then make the needed adjustments. The Pharisees prayed for hours each day and never touched Gods heart. Could you have fallen into the same trap? The people of that day had learned how to pray from the Pharisees, so Jesus spent much of His ministry trying to get the people to unlearn what they had been wrongly taught.
If God Knows What I Need, Why Should I Pray? will give you insights into how prayer works. Its critical that you grasp the four purposes of prayer because having this knowledge will inspire you to bring your requests to God.
Do you understand that some things will not happen in your life unless you pray? Otherwise, prayer serves no purpose. The Bible says you do not have because you do not ask.
Do you realize that when you pray the earthly realm reaches into the spiritual realm?
Do you fully understand what it means to pray in the name of Jesus?
Before reading this book, I ask you to lay aside your preconceived notions about prayer. You cannot learn anything unless youre open to ideas that youve never considered before. Kent Crockett allows the Scripture to speak for itself. Its my prayer that you will be enlightened and discover the freedom and joy youll experience through dialoging with the living God.

How Prayer Works
You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God. (Matthew 22:29)
Which best describes your prayer life?
- I love praying and I see God answering my prayers. (If so, youre on the right track.)
- I hate praying because its so boring.
- Praying makes absolutely no difference in my life.
- I dont understand why I need to pray.
- The only reason I pray is to keep God from getting mad at me.
If you checked any answer but the first one, youve just identified how I once thought about praying. And if were honest, most people feel like I did about prayer. But maybe theres another reason why its not working for so many of us. Perhaps weve just been doing it wrong.
A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem bureau rented an apartment that overlooked the Wailing Wall, which is a holy site where Jews pray. Every day when she looked out the window, she noticed an elderly Jewish man praying at the Wall.
Curiosity got the best of her. She grabbed her pen and notebook, rushed over to the Wailing Wall and introduced herself to the old man.
Im a journalist and Ive noticed you come here every day to pray. How long have you done this, and what are you praying for?
Ive come here every day for twenty-five years, the man replied. In the morning I pray for world peace and the brotherhood of man. Then I go home, have a cup of tea, and come back here and pray for the eradication of all disease from the face of the earth.
Thats amazing! the journalist exclaimed as she scribbled down notes. How does it make you feel to come here every day and pray for these things?
The old man closed his eyes and sighed, Its like talking to a wall.
For so many people, prayer is like talking to a wall. If thats the case with you, then it wont be long before you quit doing it.
Is it possible that weve somehow missed what God intended prayer to be? What if it doesnt matter to God whether we pray with our eyes open instead of closed? Could it be that He might not want us to pray publicly in restaurants? Many people only pray in church, but what if most of our praying should be happening when were
