Want More From Your Prayer Life? If you're dissatisfied in your prayer life, wanting to be more consistent in prayer, or looking to deepen your intimacy with God, then this 8-week Bible study was written for you. It examines the prayers of eight biblical characters and teaches you how to pray like the prayer warriors who went before you. You'll study: Jesus: A Model Prayer Paul: A Prayer of Intercession Job: A Prayer of Despair Hannah: A Prayer of Longing David: A Prayer of Lament Asa: A Prayer of Seeking God Jehoshaphat: A Prayer of Dependence Nehemiah: A Prayer of Boldness Follow in the footsteps of these spiritual giants and discover anew what our loving God does with a little faith and a whole lot of prayer. You'll love studying these scriptural prayers, like the prayer of Asa: Then Asa called to the Lord his God and said, "Lord, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O Lord our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude. O Lord, You are our God; let not man prevail against You." (2 Chron. 14:11)

“I'm so thankful for this much needed study on prayer. Crickett has done a beautiful job parsing the many facets of prayer and laying the pieces in front of us so we can better understand and apply this most intimate part of our relationship with Christ. Dividing the study into heartfelt prayer themes, such as intercession, longing, lament, boldness, and more gives us starting points since prayer can often be overwhelming. You'll also love studying the prayers of men and women in Scripture from whom we get our greatest prayer examples. If you're looking to deepen your prayer life, pick up this study and gather a group of friends together!”

It is the perfect blend of thought-provoking questions, challenging quotes, and the author's honest and transparent reflections that I found myself relating to again and again. What a refreshing study of what prayer should look like!”

“Reading On Bended Knee reminded me of how welcoming God is. Imagine! God Himself inviting us to talk to Him about anything, everything, without pretense or reserve. Thank you, Crickett, for writing so honestly and vulnerably about prayer. While I found myself digging into the Scriptures and gaining new insights from this study, the best thing I can say about it is that I kept closing it because all I wanted to do was pray.”
“Crickett Keeth is my favorite Bible study writer. As she always does, in her work On Bended Knee: Praying Like Prophets, Warriors, and Kings, she weds timeless truths of Scripture with timely application. She has this gift for talking about theological insights in a way that makes readers feel as if she's sitting with us at the kitchen table. And we find we are changed. I highly recommend her work for both group and individual use.”

Then, what better place to turn than to biblical characters who poured out their hearts to God—in times of despair, longing, lament, seeking, dependence and boldness.

This seasoned Bible teacher deftly examines the lives of Jesus, Paul, Job, Hannah, David and others in order for us to better understand how prayer can change a life.

As she takes us through the study, we are prompted with provocative questions and application for our own lives—while at the same time being encouraged with wisdom from history's great prayer warriors. Throughout, she keeps our focus in prayer on the Lord and pursuing His will and His way in all things. I highly recommend On Bended Knee for either personal or group study.”
