God’s work in the world is not always apparent, but these prayers from first kings are just to keep praying for just that reason. Just because we do not see the results at the moment does not mean he does not hear us. Dr. Mark McDowell as he explore this prayer’s background, meaning, and application to our own prayers.
First Kings offers lessons on prayer during both good and challenging times. The book documents Solomon’s reign, the division of the kingdom, and the deeds of various kings and the prophet Elijah.
