I received an eARC of this book and quickly discovered that I wanted a physical copy to be able to go through slowly。 Such a deep， powerful devotional on prayer。 Each day also includes journal prompts and is like a guided journal。 Really looking forward to taking the tribe to sit down and savor this book。 Highly recommend if you are struggling with prayer！

When I first heard that Phil was writing a devotional I thought， "Yes！ It's going to be great because it's Phil Wickham。 Everything he does is gold！" Then when I heard it was inspired by his hit song， Battle Belongs， I was even more excited being that is in my top favorite Phil 5。 I never realized though that this book would change my prayer life in such big ways。 Before reading this devotional， I would describe my prayer life as good。 The first thing I did every morning was pray， I would pray t When I first heard that Phil was writing a devotional I thought， "Yes！ It's going to be great because it's Phil Wickham。 Everything he does is gold！" Then when I heard it was inspired by his hit song， Battle Belongs， I was even more excited being that is in my top favorite Phil 5。 I never realized though that this book would change my prayer life in such big ways。 Before reading this devotional， I would describe my prayer life as good。 The first thing I did every morning was pray， I would pray throughout the day when faced with anything that I had concerned with and I always ended my day with prayer。 I even hosted prayer times in a couple of groups I started on facebook: Daily Blessings and The Chosen Prayer Warriors。 I thought my prayer times were full， productive and "enough"。 I thought this until reading On Our Knees。 This devotional， written by Phil， has opened my eyes to how much deeper， meaningful， purposeful， rich， powerful， intimate， honest， transparent， blessed and so much more my prayer life can be。 There is so much that I was lacking。 I hadn't even scratched the surface as Phil mentions at the end of the devotional。 I feel Phil gave three specific keys in this devotional about prayer: what prayer is， how to pray and how God responds to our prayers。 Each day we were given a story from the bible that gave the lesson in action。 I feel this opened my eyes to better understanding not only the scripture but how to apply it to my prayer life。 It taught me how to be more intimate in my prayers， align them with God's desire， how I can pray with expectation that God will and can answer my prayers。 Three of the areas that touched me the most were praying in the name of Jesus， pray with Scripture and with the Holy Spirit。 I think we all have said， "In Jesus name I pray 。 。 。 " but I feel that this section on praying in Jesus name really opened my eyes to what it truly means when we say these words。 I am now more keenly aware of what it means when I say this。 I had never thought much about praying with scripture but after reading that section it opened my eyes to the beauty of doing so and how it can guide you in your prayer walk and draw you closer to God。 The section on praying with the Holy Spirit helped me to see how he is our guide and mentor。 We often forget he is part of the God head I think。 All three of these sections and this whole book was so beautifully written。Phil did a wonderful job of showing the reader that your prayers don't have to be perfect。 Those who came before us were sinners just like us。 Their prayers weren't perfect。 They cried out to God in their pain。 But God heard them。 He heard their imperfect prayers and cries for help。 He heard their whispers and their roars。 He will， can and wants to hear us。 This devotional can change and will change your prayer life！！ It will give you peace， strengthen you， give you hope and bring you closer to God。 "Prayer is a lifelong journey。 The deeper we go and the more honest we are with God， the more we realize we're only beginning to see and learn of His great love for us" - - Phil Wickham （On Our Knees） 。。。more

I would highly recommend On Our Knees。 I have always loved Phil Whickham’s music so when I saw he was writing a devotional I had to read it！ This book is so powerful and I would recommend it to anyone no matter where they feel they are at in their prayer life。 Phil offers many different perspectives on prayer。 There were so many times were I just felt peace wash over me when reminded about how much God loves me。 He wants me to come to Him boldly in prayer。 I can share my heart openly with Him be I would highly recommend On Our Knees。 I have always loved Phil Whickham’s music so when I saw he was writing a devotional I had to read it！ This book is so powerful and I would recommend it to anyone no matter where they feel they are at in their prayer life。 Phil offers many different perspectives on prayer。 There were so many times were I just felt peace wash over me when reminded about how much God loves me。 He wants me to come to Him boldly in prayer。 I can share my heart openly with Him because he already knows what I’m going through。 I also loved each and everyone of the stories that Phil used to talk about prayer。 I’ve grown up in church all of my life and never really heard many of those stories be related to prayer。 On Our Knees is a book that I will be sharing with many people。 I believe that this is a must read for Christians。 。。。more

I had the privilege of reading this book before its release in the midst of studying for the comprehensive exam I had to take for my PhD program。 The timing could not have been better。 Within just the first few days， I went from being an anxious mess to enjoying sweet， deep time with Jesus thanks to the lessons， stories， and Scripture shared in On Our Knees。I don’t usually read devotionals （I prefer inductive study for my quiet time） but On Our Knees was the breath of fresh air I needed and a gr I had the privilege of reading this book before its release in the midst of studying for the comprehensive exam I had to take for my PhD program。 The timing could not have been better。 Within just the first few days， I went from being an anxious mess to enjoying sweet， deep time with Jesus thanks to the lessons， stories， and Scripture shared in On Our Knees。I don’t usually read devotionals （I prefer inductive study for my quiet time） but On Our Knees was the breath of fresh air I needed and a great reminder to mix up how I engage with God。 My heart and soul were lifted by Phil’s personal sharing and the questions asked each day that created a space where I could stop， reflect， and commune with the Lord。What’s so amazing about this book is that it is so versatile。 Someone brand new to the faith and someone who has been walking with the Lord for years can read this book and either learn something new， be reminded of a truth they knew but forgot， or just be encouraged and refreshed。 The depth this book has provided for my faith is worth far more than the monetary price I paid for the book itself。 I especially recommend this book to anyone who is serving in ministry。 It is easy to be so busy doing that we forget to spend time with our Heavenly Father。 I will be re-reading this book again the next time I hit a low in my life or the next time I need my soul refreshed。Side note， you will get out of this book what you put into it。 Take the time to soak in the Scripture， reflect on the questions， pray， or share what you’re learning with a friend！ It’s worth the time investment。 。。。more

This book from Phil Wickham was a great addition to my daily quiet times。 Each day was filled with scripture， practical insights， real life experiences and I really gleaned a lot from it’s pages。 It helped me in my own personal prayer/communication with God and stirred up a desire to pray more。 I really enjoyed it。

Phil Wickham has hit all the right notes with his first devotional。 Real， relevant and relational。 As a busy teacher， it was the perfect length for a daily devotional that ended daily with thoughtful questions and challenges。 The selected scriptures used reminds us of how important and essential prayer it our spiritual life。 Weaving in personal stories to teachings， we are led down a path that takes the often oversimplified task of prayer to the depth it truly needs to be。 Whether you read it in Phil Wickham has hit all the right notes with his first devotional。 Real， relevant and relational。 As a busy teacher， it was the perfect length for a daily devotional that ended daily with thoughtful questions and challenges。 The selected scriptures used reminds us of how important and essential prayer it our spiritual life。 Weaving in personal stories to teachings， we are led down a path that takes the often oversimplified task of prayer to the depth it truly needs to be。 Whether you read it in 40 days as a personal devotion， with friends as a Bible study or at your own pace- this book will surely remind you that on our knees is where we really all need to be。 。。。more

Loved this devotional！ 40 days and 40 Bible studies on the power of prayer。 You will spend about 15 minutes each day on the text and Phil Wickham’s thoughts on it。 Each day has a written prayer and some thought provoking questions。 Plenty of room to jot down your thoughts， ideas， and prayer requests。 From Genesis to Revelation。 I will be recommending this devotional to all my friends and family！

Wonderful devotional， appropriate for all walks of life and what your going thru。 Meaningful。 Thanks to author， publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book。 While I got the book for free， it had no bearing on the rating I gave it。

When Phil Wickham introduced his song， “Battle Belongs，” to audiences， he had no idea what a huge hit it would become。 Or how the Lord would use his own song to teach him more about prayer。 In this 40 day devotional， Phil shares his personal through-the-Bible study of how the “great heroes of the faith” communed with God。 Whether the prophets of the Old Testament， who literally walked with God and heard his voice; Jesus’ disciples， who were taught by God in the flesh; or the early church， who re When Phil Wickham introduced his song， “Battle Belongs，” to audiences， he had no idea what a huge hit it would become。 Or how the Lord would use his own song to teach him more about prayer。 In this 40 day devotional， Phil shares his personal through-the-Bible study of how the “great heroes of the faith” communed with God。 Whether the prophets of the Old Testament， who literally walked with God and heard his voice; Jesus’ disciples， who were taught by God in the flesh; or the early church， who received the Holy Spirit; all had unique encounters with God that we can learn from to aid our own prayer lives。Each of the 40 days includes the following format: a passage of Scripture to read， a lesson from those verses， a sample prayer and suggestions for prayer practice， and questions for either individual or group reflection。There are 2 things I especially liked about this devotional。 The first is that Phil Wickham does not approach it as a know-it-all guru who is going to teach us everything we need to know about prayer。 He simply shares what he learned in his through-the-Bible study and encourages the reader to go deeper。 The other great thing， which I have already referred to， is that day one starts in Genesis with Adam and Eve and the last day ends in Revelation。 I much prefer going through the Bible as opposed to jumping around randomly。 It works very well for this book and is rare to find in a devotional。 I recommend this book both for yourself and also to give as a gift。 *I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and K-LOVE Books in exchange for my honest review。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Communicating Daily with GodThis is a 40-Day Prayer Devotional that covers Five areas the author suggests be used in your daily prayer life， there are:1。 The Story， which includes a suggested passage of Scripture for you to read， followed by several key verses from that passage for discussion。2。 The Promise， each day has a lesson focused on the Bible verse called The Promise。 It is a conversation about what we’ve learned from the Scripture as well as an invitation to join us in wrestling with wh Communicating Daily with GodThis is a 40-Day Prayer Devotional that covers Five areas the author suggests be used in your daily prayer life， there are:1。 The Story， which includes a suggested passage of Scripture for you to read， followed by several key verses from that passage for discussion。2。 The Promise， each day has a lesson focused on the Bible verse called The Promise。 It is a conversation about what we’ve learned from the Scripture as well as an invitation to join us in wrestling with what that day’s verse might have to teach us about prayer and how it applies to our faith。3。 Today’s Prayer， a prayer that can help you model the lessons we learned from Scripture about praying。4。 Prayer Practice， this practice will challenge you to grow in how you pray。5。 Prayer Reflections， these are sets of questions meant to help you explore the lesson from the Bible and hopefully go deeper in your prayer journey。Phil Wickham has provided 40 very powerful prayers， supported by scripture covering a wide variety of topics， such as:• Pray for the Impossible – Exodus 14:01 • Prayer as Praise and Thanksgiving – Exodus 15:01• Pray for Physical Healing – 2 Kings 20: 1– 11 01• Prayer Will Exceed Our Expectations – Ephesians 3 01， and many more。The author states that we should be "Be Bold in Prayer"。 I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea， and all that is in them， saying: “to him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power， for ever and ever！” the four living creatures said， “amen，” and the elders fell down and worshiped （Revelation 5:13– 14） 。。。more

The actual information and advice about prayer here is solid and Biblical， but it doesn't say anything in a new or exciting way。 The entries are short， thankfully， but are also a bit repetitive。 The most frustrating thing about this book， though， is that it spent too much time reminding us that Wickham has a successful career， a wife， children， and overall， a happy and comfortablemiddle-class existence。 He vaguely mentions things like， "I have problems in my life I have to pray about， too。" But The actual information and advice about prayer here is solid and Biblical， but it doesn't say anything in a new or exciting way。 The entries are short， thankfully， but are also a bit repetitive。 The most frustrating thing about this book， though， is that it spent too much time reminding us that Wickham has a successful career， a wife， children， and overall， a happy and comfortablemiddle-class existence。 He vaguely mentions things like， "I have problems in my life I have to pray about， too。" But he seems to have lived a pretty charmed life so far。 I realize it's not quite fair to compare prayers and all that， but I fail to see how someone who has dealt with truly serious， challenging situations in life， or people who have prayed for 20+ years without answers， etc。， will be encouraged by this。 I found it actively discouraging， and while I tried to give Wickham the benefit of the doubt going in， by halfway through， I just wanted this to be over。Note: Over 50 pages here are blank for "notes。" If you're not someone who writes in your books， this is just a waste of paper。I received a temporary copy of this ebook from the author/publisher via NetGalley。 。。。more

The words on the pages resonates and draws me in。 I’m feeling a cultivating and a drawing closer。 Hard to sit it down but Phil leaves you with questions to mulch on。 I know this book will draw you closer as well and open your eyes to the grace of our Father。

This is the first Christian book ive ever read， mainlybecause I just haven't gotten around to it。 I rated it 4 stars because I wasn't entirely moved by it， but I did see it as a good guide for anyone who needs it。 I don't think anything could ever replace the Bible， but sometimes it can be hard to find methods to praying， etc。 So I think this book by @philwickham is a fair resource for encouragement andinformation when finding your own method of praying。 This is the first Christian book ive ever read， mainlybecause I just haven't gotten around to it。 I rated it 4 stars because I wasn't entirely moved by it， but I did see it as a good guide for anyone who needs it。 I don't think anything could ever replace the Bible， but sometimes it can be hard to find methods to praying， etc。 So I think this book by @philwickham is a fair resource for encouragement andinformation when finding your own method of praying。 。。。more
