Should we pray? Most Christians would respond to that question by adamantly saying, "Absolutely!" But often times if the same Christians were asked, "Do you pray?" most would reply, "Not enough." Then, when asked, "Why not?" the chief response is, "I don't know what to say or where to start." In Divine Coverage, Ben Daniel provides examples of prayers based squarely upon the outline given by Christ. He also includes eighteen specific prayer directives found in the Bible which provide us with directions concerning our prayers.
