Synopsis

"Aids To Devotion, In Three Parts: Including Watts's Guide To Prayer" by Isaac Watts. This devotional compilation presents a structured program for prayer across three parts: a condensed introduction drawing on Bickersteth’s Treatise, the full text of Watts's Guide to Prayer, and a collection of devotional exercises drawn from Scripture and other devotional works. Part I surveys general views of prayer, outlining its nature, duty, privilege, and various forms, with practical guidance on private, family, and public prayer. Part II furnishes Watts's own treatise, detailing the parts and duties of prayer, the gift and grace of prayer, the Spirit of prayer, and persuasive directions to cultivate the practice. Part III assembles devotional exercises, including Scripture selections and forms of prayer for morning, noon, and evening, for private devotion, family worship, and social prayer. The edition reflects 19th-century devotional pedagogy, emphasizing reverence, discipline, and the centrality of prayer in Christian life.
