Many people today find that their prayers don’t “work.” And like a broken cell phone, DVD player, or TV remote, they throw prayer out as unnecessary “clutter” in their busy lives. Anne Graham Lotz has found that while prayer does work, sometimes the “pray-ers” don’t. So she has turned to the prophet Daniel for help.

The Daniel Prayer is born deep within your soul, erupts through your heart, and pours out on your lips, words created by and infused with the Spirit of God quivering with spiritual electricity. It’s really not an everyday type of prayer. It’s a prayer birthed under pressure. Heartache. Grief. Desperation. It can be triggered by a sudden revelation of hope. An answer to prayer, a promise freshly received, a miracle that lies just over the horizon...

Join Anne in a thrilling discovery of prayer that really works.

This book will help readers pray effectively for their nation, for their families, and for themselves. She will answer such questions as:

Does God only hear the prayers of good people?
How do I know the God to whom I pray will listen?
How do I know God cares about my prayer?
How do I know God will answer my prayer?
Why should I pray?
Does it matter where I am when I pray?
Are words in prayer all that matter, or does my attitude affect prayer?
What difference does my prayer make?

The book also includes some of her original prayers that demonstrate the principles taught in The Daniel Prayer.

The New York Times named Anne one of the five most influential evangelists of her generation.

Review:

Anne is a natural, gifted teacher of truth. She also has a lifetime of experience from which she humbly yet boldly proclaims God’s Word and wisdom. Now she does it once again in The Daniel Prayer. And once again she encourages us that we can move mountains too! (Kathie Lee Gifford)

Readers who yearn for the restoration of America’s cultural values will be tremendously inspired by Anne Graham Lotz’s brilliant and moving insights. As one who has a deep desire to enhance the passion of her prayers, I find The Daniel Prayer to be an extremely powerful and motivational book that you cannot put down. (Senator Elizabeth Dole)

When Anne Graham Lotz speaks, I listen. When she speaks on prayer, I lean in! In this great new book, a preeminent modern-day pray-er explores the prayer of one of the Bible’s greatest intercessors. It is a marvelous combination that promises to challenge, inspire, and convict its readers. I enthusiastically recommend it. (Richard Blackaby, coauthor of Experiencing God: Revised Edition)

As more Americans are turning away from the Lord, my friend Anne Graham Lotz has written a timely book about the power of prayer. In The Daniel Prayer, Anne argues we can renew, restore, and revive our nation---if---we agree to start praying like Daniel. I wholeheartedly agree! In The Daniel Prayer we come to understand we too can live and breathe the amazing power of prayer. (Gretchen Carlson, bestselling author and award-winning host of The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson on the Fox News Channel)

I love this woman---her passion, courage, and listening ear. About fifty pages into The Daniel Prayer, Anne writes, “You and I will never know how to pray in such a way that Heaven is moved and our nation is changed until we start reading our Bibles.” With that, Anne takes us into His Word and explains from Scripture, personal experience, and the lives of others the whole process of preparing for, pleading for, and prevailing in prayer. Then understanding our frailty when it comes to prayer (don’t we all feel it!), Anne gives us practical help and direction for praying The Daniel Prayer. In Daniel 9:23, God told Daniel he was “highly esteemed---precious” and that is what my friend Anne is to me. And that is what we can be to God if we will but listen, obey, and pray. (Kay Arthur, cofounder of Precept Ministries International and author of Lord, Teach Me to Pray in 28 Days)

Anne Graham Lotz has obviously spent a lot of time in prayer because in her latest book, The Daniel Prayer, she speaks with an authority that is not her own, that is bold and compelling and beautiful. This book may change your life because it will actually make you want to pray. Imagine that. It’s true. (Eric Metaxas, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host)

America is in trouble because we have turned our back on God. Judgment is coming, and no earthly institution can save us. The only thing that will stay the hand of God from sending the destruction that we have brought on ourselves through our disobedience is prayer. With this book, Anne reminds us how a teenager-turned-prime-minister changed the fate of a nation through deeply intense and powerfully intentional prayer. The Daniel Prayer is an essential and timely read for a world on the eve of destruction. May we too, like Daniel, cry out, “O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act!” (Janet Parshall, nationally syndicated radio host)

If you have a deep longing to see God move in our generation in an unprecedented way, then read The Daniel Prayer. It will break up the fallow ground in your heart, creating a yearning for God that only God Himself can fulfill. Thank you, Anne Graham Lotz, for this incredible book that has the capacity to lead us into a God-shaking moment in this world. (Dr. Ronnie Floyd, President, Southern Baptist Convention and Senior Pastor, Cross Church)

Read this book and you will discover that prayer is not simply a part of Anne’s life; it is her life. She explains why the prayer of Daniel should be our model for praying and, on that basis, allows us into her own heart, revealing her disappointments, her victories, and above all, her burden for our nation. As you read this book, let Anne’s burden become yours! (Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, Pastor Emeritus, the Moody Church, Chicago)

As a Jewish believer in Yeshua, the Messiah, as a son of the tribe of Judah and a direct descendant of the same Israelites who lived during the days of the prophet Daniel, I strongly recommend The Daniel Prayer. Anne Graham Lotz encourages believers to stand firm and never give up on God. It is within our spirits to pray and believe that the God of Daniel is the same today, according to His Word. Read this book and become a Daniel-like-minded believer! (Major Amir Tsarfati, Israeli Defense Force; founder, Behold Israel Ministry)

This book changed me. I will keep it open and go back to it over and over. It has transformed my prayer life. I have thrown my schedule out the window to fit on-my-face prayer time as the centerpiece of my every day. And this is the message for America! This is the only thing that could give us another chance. It’s not too late. May King Jesus raise up at least one million warriors praying The Daniel Prayer. (Tom Doyle, Vice President of e3 Partners and author of Killing Christians―Living the Faith Where It Is Not Safe to Believe)

If I enumerated a list of lessons I’ve learned as a student and spiritual daughter of Anne Graham Lotz, it would not only be long but it would be topped with the importance of intentional, passionate prayer. The incredible book you are holding in your hands is a message near and dear to Ms. Anne’s heart---one she has lived and taught by example. This work will call you out of the doldrums of lackluster faith and beckon you to renewed passion for an age-old spiritual discipline that still has wonder-working power. Read it, yes, but don’t stop there. Get on your knees and pray---intentionally, strategically, and fervently. (Priscilla Shirer, author of Fervent: A Woman’s Guide to Serious, Specific and Strategic Prayer)

Praying confirms we know we cannot succeed without God---and its absence confirms the opposite. We’re quick to denounce cultural depravity that would have been inconceivable a generation ago, yet how often have we failed to cry out to the One who can transform it? In The Daniel Prayer, Anne Graham Lotz has hit the bull’s-eye: To become part of God's solution, we must learn to pray as Daniel prayed. He was the interceder for a dark culture in his day---will you be one in ours? (Dr. James MacDonald, Senior Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel; and author of Act Like Men and Vertical Church; JamesMacDonald.org)
