Teach Us to Pray: Biblical Studies in Prayer

In this publication, we will examine Asa¿s prayer for God¿s presence and strength. After coming into power and establishing the kingdom, Asa faced his first major military opposition. Zerah the Ethiopian gathered his army to come against Judah. Rather than seek help from other nations (including Israel), the king called upon the name of the Lord. Asa¿s example in prayer should encourage us to call upon the name of the Lord in times of opposition and testing.
