April 13, 2021 Podcast: Inquiring of the Lord—Good and Bad (2 Sam 5.19, 23)
Become a patron and listen to every podcast. Today's prayer study focuses on two prayers of King David, inquiries of God by casting lots. What can we learn about prayer?
David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you give them into my hand?”

When David inquired of the LORD, he said, “You shall not go up; go around to their rear, and come upon them opposite the balsam trees.
These prayer passages are two of the last times that we read of David (or any leader of Israel) “inquiring” of God. The practice of gaining a “yes” or “no” answer from God is coming to an end (at least in the biblical story).

October 30, 2020 Audio: Seeking Answers from God (1 Sam 23.2, 4, 10-11)
This passage contrasts the power of God with the power of human authority. Though David is a fugitive from the State, he is loyal to the people. He is a savior of the people or a traitor, depending on one’s perspective. The passage also demonstrates that God allows humans the freedom to act as they wish; it is through prayer and His answers that he controls events. Listen to the audio version of this study.

September 11, 2020 Audio: Crying Out (1 Sam 7.5, 6, 8, 9)
“I will pray to the LORD for you.”
“Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us, and pray that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”
Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.
Listen to this prayer study about the new prophet Samuel and how he cries out to God in times of distress. What can we learn from this about our own prayers?
