Chapter 1: THE REVELATION OF PRAYER - THE UNIVERSAL CALL TO PRAYER
Article 1: IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
In their "one to one" encounters with God, the prophets draw light and strength for their mission. Their prayer is not flight from this unfaithful world, but rather attentiveness to the Word of God. At times their prayer is an argument or a complaint, but it is always an intercession that awaits and prepares for the intervention of the Savior God, the Lord of history.[36]
