The essentials of prayer
Edward M. Bounds
Redemption Publishing
<span>Prayer has to do with the  entire man. Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and  body. It takes the whole man to pray, and prayer affects the entire man  in its gracious results. As the whole nature of man enters into prayer,  so also all that belongs to man is the beneficiary of prayer. All of man  receives benefits in prayer. The whole man must be given to God in  praying. The largest results in praying come to him who gives himself,  all of himself, all that belongs to himself, to God. This is the secret  of full consecration, and this is a condition of successful praying, and  the sort of praying which brings the largest fruits.</span>
