Using the Words of Scripture to Enrich Prayer Matthew Henry's A Method for Prayer,/i> (1710) consists almost entirely of Scripture, under various headings, to help Christians pray in harmony with the truth of God. It has been revised by O. Palmer Robertson to allow the language of prayer to be expressed in today's idiom. This Pocket Puritan is a sampler for that larger work. It is sent out with confidence that God will honour his Word, as it is redirected back to him in the form of heartfelt prayer.
