Aprender a orar es uno de los mayores desafíos en la vida de un cristiano. A. W. Tozer señaló que la mayor maldición de la Iglesia es la oración sin respuesta, y que a mucha gente no parece importarle eso. Tal vez no entiendan de qué se trata la oración contestada. Tozer describe esto como solo él puede hacerlo, describiendo el tipo de oración que Dios responde y el tipo de oración que lo deja en silencio. En última instancia, debe preguntarse: ¿Mis oraciones de hoy son más poderosas y efectivas que hace un año? ¡Nuestro buen Padre quiere que lo sean!

Learning how to pray is one of the greatest challenges in a Christian's life. A. W. Tozer pointed out that the church's greatest curse is unanswered prayer and that many people do not seem bothered by that. Maybe they don't understand what answered prayer is all about. Tozer outlines this as only he can, describing the kind of prayer God answers and the kind of prayer that leaves Him silent. Ultimately, you have to ask yourself: are my prayers today more powerful and effective than they were a year ago? Our good Father wants them to be!
The book opens with Jacob's Ladder and its theme of ascending into God's very presence. What better place to begin dialoguing with God? Only He can teach us what is on His heart, what His will is, and what our part in it could be.
