I am presently using a great resource to assist me in my prayer life. It is called Matthew’s Henry’s method of Prayer. It is essentially a collage of scripture texts centered on a particular theme. It is wonderfully practical and helpful. Check it out here.
Matthew Henry (1662-1714)
English non-conformist minister and Bible commentator
Matthew Henry was the son of Philip Henry, a clergyman ejected from the Church of England under the Act of Uniformity of 1662. Henry at first thought of entering a legal career but soon decided on Christian ministry. He prepared for it with two years of study (1680-1682) at the Islington Academy under Thomas Dolittle. Ordained a Presbyterian, he served two parishes, first at Chester from 1687-1712, and then at Hackney from 1712 until his death two years later. He is best remembered for his Exposition of the Old and New Testament begun in 1704. This work was completed, and he was well into the New Testament at the time of his sudden and premature death. His Bible commentaries, though long superseded from a critical and academic viewpoint, have always enjoyed much popularity for “their penetrating insight, their exhilarating freshness, and their ingenuity of thought and expression.
