I'm so glad to pray to a God who's all-powerful.

I'm so glad to pray to a God who's absolutely majestic

and controls all the circumstances of the whole world.

I'm so glad to pray to a God who's absolutely faithful to his children, who loves them.

I'm glad to pray to a God who's utterly and absolutely holy and will always do right,

and I'm glad to pray to a God who's gracious and forgives and forgives and forgives.

Welcome to Grace to You, the Bible teaching ministry of John MacArthur. I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

What do healthy marriages have in common? What about good

parenting? The answer is communication. You've got to know how to talk to those you love.

Well, it's no different in your relationship with God. To draw closer to him, you need to know

how to talk to him. So today, John is going to look at the

prophet Daniel and his example of fervent and effective prayer. The title of John's current study,

Elements of True Prayer. But before the lesson, I have some letters here from listeners

who wanted to let us know how God has used grace to you in their lives.

Here's what Richard told us. He writes, I remember first listening to John MacArthur on

Premier Radio out of London back in the mid-1990s. Out of all the preachers I listened to as a young

Christian, and there were a few. I can honestly say John's

diction, message, and unwavering desire to reveal God's truth spoke to my heart the most.

I thank the Lord for his ministry, his witness, and his legacy. Thank you to John's family,

and everyone at Grace Community Church, and grace to you for being a beacon of light in this dark world.

And he signs it, Richard.

And here's a note from Mariette.
