Bold Faith Praying

Martin Luther, the father of the Protestant

Reformation, had a good friend and assis-
tant by the name of Friedrich Myconius. In
1540, Myconius became sick and was ex-
pected to die shortly. On his deathbed he
wrote a tender farewell message to Luther. When Luther read
the message, he immediately sent a reply: “I command you in
the name of God to live because I still have need of you in the
work of reforming the church. The Lord will never let me
hear that you are dead, but will permit you to survive me. For
this I am praying, this is my will, and may my will be done,
because I seek only to glorify the name of God.” While those
words might seem bold and brash, the fact is that Myconius,
who had already lost the ability to speak when Luther’s reply
came, soon recovered from his illness, and lived six more
years. He finally died two months after Luther did. What an
amazing testimony to the power of prayer. Wouldn’t you like
to be able to pray like that? I would!

Join us on Wednesday nights as we learn from the word the

secret to effective prayer.
