I am planning on studying prayer this year with the intent of improving my prayer life.
What are some good resources on prayer from Logos that you would recommend?
Thanks,
Ron
I suggested 50 Ways to Pray by Teresa Blythe to be added to Logos' Library.
I'm sure someone else will pipe in with the exact resource. A while ago a book on every prayer in the Bible made quite a stir in pre-pub. I believe it was a multi-volume resource published only through Logos by a professor at a university. I wish i had been able to purchase it because from what was said about the testimony of the author it would have been a great resource in my library :-)

Someone needs to provide this reference. It sounds excellent...

Was this the one you were referring to?

I got this resource on prepub and it is a good commentary, specifically very strong when discussing prayer passages in the Bible.

One of my favorites is: E.M. Bounds. He was a chaplain during the Civil War and he got up at 4:00 every morning (till 8:00) to both pray and to write books about prayer. Probably because he spent so much time in prayer his books have an appeal and instructive power that goes beyond the mind - his words seem to reach into my guts and drive me to my knees. Logos has several of his small books on prayer.

It is "funny" you ask this now though. This morning I was on the phone with a woman who is in the hospital - in an isolation ward. As I spoke with her I had my laptop open and Logos at my fingertips. After encouraging her the best I could, I began to pray for her. As I prayed, I opened a Search window in the BIBLE Tab, selected Psalms-Proverbs as the search parameter and an ESV bible as the resource. I typed in: great God OR Lord and instantly had a list of reasons to praise our God. I went through the list personalizing / turning each Scripture into a prayer. I then typed in: Majestic God OR Lord and did the same thing. Then: one by one, mighty, holy, worthy, excellent with God OR Lord. When I finished, she thanked me and said she really needed that. I got off the phone and echoed, "Me too!" [I could probably have made one master list from the start, but at the time this is how I did it. But in retrospect, I like how with each list we had an emphasis on a different aspect for which to give Him praise.]

This won't have commentary, but I stumbled across two very helpful lists ("Prayers" and "Praying") in this resource:

I've been asked to take a one-session break from our Ephesians bible study to do a session on prayer. This is definitely not one of my strengths, either experientially or doctrinally. I'm going to start (real soon now
by reading through all the prayers in the N.T. I have a few L4 resources specific to prayer that I may turn to, but I won't have a ton of time for that.

There's one resource called something like "When God prayed", on Jesus' high priestly prayer in John ?17. I haven't read it, but maybe others could comment. Sounds as if it could be helpful.
When God Prayed by Wilton, Don and 50% off!
I have read a few chapters in this book and really enjoyed what I've read. Anxious to get a chance to finish it. I recommend it.
I taught a course on prayer a couple of times a few years ago. I attach my bibliography from that class, with links added where the books are available in Logos. The exact book by Bunyan on that bibliography isn't available but his A Discourse Touching Prayer is.

In addition, these are some books from my Logos collection on prayer which I think are worth getting if you don't have them already:
