Your heavenly Father values you as much as anybody who has ever lived. Think about that! God loves you and wants to talk to you. With prayer, we all have equal access…we are all on level ground. What’s more, prayer gives you the privilege of access to ultimate power. God can make anything happen. He can heal. Solve any problem. Change your financial situation. Open doors. Cause everything that has happened in your past (whether it was right or wrong, whether you were right or wrong) to work together for good .   Did You Think to Pray? helps you to better understand what prayer is, why it is so important, and how you can overcome the obstacles that prevent you from doing it. Learn how to make prayer the foundation of your life…you can only benefit from spending more time with God.   “I cannot imagine a greater motivation to pray than that God enjoys having me in His presence. He enjoys my company. He delights in listening to me! He doesn’t get bored with my repeated requests. He never makes me feel stupid. There is no rejection, only total acceptance.” --R.T. Kendall in Did You Think to Pray?

Amazing book!!! A must read if you are wanting a deeper relationship with God.

[Vera Hardiman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is by far the best book on prayer that I have ever read. It has given me so much freedom and I am definitely spending more time in prayer since I finished reading it a couple of months ago. R.T. Kendall discusses all the different types of prayer and encourages us to pray in freedom. He points out the different ways to pray in Scripture and which prayers were answered. Well would you believe God answers prayers said in faith as well as faithless prayers. Shopping list prayers are fine, just as Holy Spirit led prayers are effective. Let's face it, He is a very big God.

3.5 stars

The writer makes some good points regarding prayer, but his style is quite dry times, and I didn't always agree with him.

Probably the best and most helpful book on the subject I have ever read. Kendall's pastoral heart and wisdom shines from every page.

This is a wonderful book. RT Kendall writes as if he's speaking, and his thoughts on prayer are so practical they've really helped me feel more confident about my own prayer life. Using his own experiences and coupling these with scripture, Kendall really pinpoints where our difficulties with prayer come from and what we can do about them. He highlights the reasons why prayer is important - for others, for God and for us, and brings to the forefront the necessity of prayer in an easy to understand format. I have been blessed by this book and hope that other readers are also.

The first time I have read a book by RT Kendall. Full of scriptural references, helpful insights and gentle challenges. Particularly appreciated his sections on thankfulness, on the importance of reading the whole of the Bible, and unwrapping the different parts of the Lord's Prayer. Found his chapter on praying in the will of God a bit of a meander, even after rereading it, but overall this was a helpful book to start the day and focus on Him.
