    About this ebook

    Do you long for a more powerful prayer life? Do you grow discouraged when your prayers don't seem to change anything or allow you to hear God's voice?

    In this video-based Bible study workshop (DVD/digital video sold separately), Anne Graham Lotz presents a biblical approach to prayer that will help you:

    • Learn to listen for God's voice,
    • Know Him in a personal relationship,
    • and Communicate with Him through His Word.

    By taking a close look at the life of Daniel, Anne unpacks the prayer he prayed in Daniel 9. Following the pattern of Daniel's original prayer as a model for how we speak to our Creator, she helps us develop a more meaningful and powerful prayer life.

    For an entire generation, Daniel's people had been held in captivity and separated from their homeland. But when Daniel read a prophecy in which God said He would restore His people to Jerusalem after seventy years, he claimed that promise and cried out for to the Lord to bring it to pass. Daniel's example of praying God's Word back to Him is what Anne calls "reversed thunder."

    In this six-session study, Anne explains how we can reverse the thunder until Heaven is moved and we see real change in our own lives and the lives of those we're praying for.

    This guide includes weekly Bible study readings, video teaching notes, group discussion questions, group activities, and space for writing your own prayers. Ideal for use in small groups and Sunday school classes and includes a simplified Bible study track for more limited meeting time (such as a workplace lunchtime setting).

    Sessions include:

    1. Preparing for Prayer
    2. Prompting in Prayer
    3. Pleading in Prayer
    4. Prevailing in Prayer
    5. The Battle in Prayer

    This study guide is designed for use with The Daniel Prayer Video Study (sold separately). A Facilitator's Guide and additional resources is included on the DVD only.

      I like the chapter that reminded me about using faith as our shield and prayer as our weapon. It touches me when the book points how we become weak in prayer with the relationship of some weaknesses at our shield. This book strengthens me in prayer. Thanks to the author. God bless everyone who reads this book.

    The Daniel Prayer Bible Study Guide - Anne Graham Lotz

    ABOUT ANNE GRAHAM LOTZ

    Called the best preacher in the family by her father, Billy Graham, Anne Graham Lotz speaks around the globe with the wisdom and authority of years spent studying God’s Word.

    The New York Times named Anne one of the five most influential evangelists of her generation. She’s been profiled on 60 Minutes and has appeared on TV programs such as Larry King Live, The Today Show, and Hannity Live. Her Just Give Me Jesus revivals have been held in more than thirty cities in twelve different countries, to hundreds of thousands of attendees.

    Whether a delegate to Davos’ Economic Forum, a commentator to the Washington Post, or a groundbreaking speaker on platforms throughout the world, Anne’s aim is clear—to bring revival to the hearts of God’s people. And her message is consistent—calling people into a personal relationship with God through His Word and through prayer.

    In May 2016, Anne was named the Chairperson of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, a position held by only two other women, Shirley Dobson and Vonette Bright, since its inception in 1952.

    Anne is a bestselling and award-winning author. Her most recent releases are The Daniel Prayer, Wounded by God’s People, Fixing My Eyes on Jesus, Expecting to See Jesus, and her first children’s book, Heaven: God’s Promise for Me.

    Anne and her late husband, Danny Lotz, have three grown children and three grandchildren. She is the founder and president of AnGeL Ministries, an independent, non-profit organization based in Raleigh, North Carolina, that is committed to giving out messages of biblical exposition so God’s Word is personal and relevant to ordinary people.

    The ministry’s name is derived from the initials of Anne Graham Lotz (AGL) and is especially fitting, as angels are messengers of God who go wherever He sends, speak to whomever He directs, and faithfully deliver His Word. AnGeL Ministries serves as the umbrella organization for the diverse ministry of Anne Graham Lotz—including her many books, DVDs, CDs, speaking engagements, and special events.

    PREFACE

    Do you ever long for a more effective prayer life? Have you ever become so discouraged that you wanted to give up even trying? I have!

    I’m reminded of an old CD player I once had. Its carousel would take five CDs at a time. One day when I loaded it, it refused to play the CDs. When I pushed the button for it to eject them, nothing happened. So I banged and pried on the little door, but to no avail. I took it to the shop, and the technician said he would have it fixed in three days. When I went back to get it, the man said, Mrs. Lotz, I’m sorry. I couldn’t get it to work. I did break it open to get your CDs out, but the player won’t work. So I threw it away.

    When something doesn’t fulfill its purpose, it’s useless. Is that how you have come to feel about prayer? If so, I’m glad you have joined this Bible study! Because I, too, have struggled with prayer. In fact, it’s been the biggest fight in my Christian walk. I have constantly seemed to struggle with concentration, content, and consistency. And that’s the primary reason the Daniel Prayer has taught me and blessed me and encouraged me and inspired me and motivated me to pray as Daniel prayed!

    One key to praying like Daniel is to pray in response to God’s Word. It’s called reversed thunder—praying God’s Word back to Him. So I always take my Bible into my prayer time, listening for God’s voice to speak to me as I read it. Then I speak . . . or pray . . . back to Him regarding what He has said.

    Does this bring up another issue for you? Do you find yourself wishing that God would speak audibly to you like He did with people in the Bible? He spoke to the prophets, the priests, the kings, the elderly, the apostles, the early church, and even to young children like little Samuel. Sometimes, He spoke to the enemies of His people. But whenever He spoke, His voice was so clear to the person listening that there was no mistaking what He had said. How can you hear God’s voice today?

    While God can speak any way He chooses, He speaks to me through His Word, as He did to Daniel in Daniel 9. In each of the six Bible study sessions, I’m going to lead you in a simple exercise that I use in order to listen to God’s voice, which is a springboard into prayer. Then, in each video segment, I will share insights God has given me on that week’s topic from Daniel’s prayer. Following the video, you will participate in a discussion with your group as you seek ways that Daniel’s story and effective prayer life applies to your own.

    Commit now to spending time every day in God’s Word in order to discover relevant insights for your life that will then become the content for your prayers. This will make each week’s discussion time with your group more rewarding, and it will equip you to grow deeper in your faith and more effective in your own prayers. To help you do this, at the end of each session you will be asked to follow
