On Our Knees: 40 Days to Living Boldly in Prayer

by Phil Wickham, Matt Litton (With)

Overview

Rediscover the joy, power, and intimacy of prayer in On Our Knees, a forty-day devotional that illuminates the power of being with God—inspired by Dove Award-winning worship music artist Phil Wickham’s hit song “Battle Belongs.” 

Phil Wickham’s On Our Knees: 40 Days to Living Boldly in Prayer explores biblical stories from Genesis to Revelation to learn about prayer from the heroes of our faith, including Moses, King David, and many more. How did these “heroes of the faith” pray? How did Jesus teach us to pray? Each entry in On Our Knees helps readers establish their own daily prayer routines, ultimately encouraging the lifelong practice of prayer as a means of connecting with and better understanding God. The devotional includes a suggested passage of scripture and Phil’s reflections on the reading, a daily prayer and prayer practice to encourage spiritual growth, and a set of reflection questions to help the reader go deeper in his or her prayer journey.

This devotional highlights:

• Jesus’s teachings on prayer
• Prayer as the foundation for faith
• Finding intimacy with God
• Following God’s path for our lives
• Praying with boldness and courage, while also in humility and honesty
• Letting go of anxiety and fear

On Our Knees brings readers into a deeper intimacy with Jesus, encouraging a habit of prayer that can last a lifetime and cultivate a closer relationship with God.

Editorial Reviews

09/01/2022

Dove Award—winning worship musician Wickham describes this book as an earnest effort to help prayerful (and not-so-prayerful) Christians learn to pray. Tied inextricably to the Bible, Wickham wants readers to have conversations with God that transform their lives. In 40 short, readable chapters, he offers personal musings around biblical passages based on the order of the Bible. This is accompanied by a prayer as well as reflective questions intended to engage the reader on a deeper level. It also suggests ways in which this can be used in small groups. Wickham's zeal is palpable; he wants to share in the best way possible. However, this book is probably not for veteran prayer warriors steeped in Lectio Divina or centering prayer practices. VERDICT Not a bad first step for seekers stuck in the dark night of the soul; Wickham might be able to help.—Sandra Collins
