Praying through the Prophets

The series Praying Through the Prophets gathers the prayers of John Calvin from the end of his sermons on the Old Testament prophets. This volume offers a simple, faithful collection of his prayers from his sermons on Ezekiel.

The book of Ezekiel reveals the holiness and glory of God with striking clarity. It confronts sin and exposes the tragedy of a hard heart. Ezekiel shows the justice of the Lord in judgment, holding out strong hope through his promise to cleanse, renew, and restore his people. Calvin's prayers give voice to these themes with reverence and spiritual clarity, helping us respond to God's word with confession, faith, and renewed trust.

If you are new to prayer, these historic prayers can provide a steady pattern of God-centered devotion. If you have walked with Christ for many years, they can deepen humility, renew confidence in the Lord's grace, and strengthen love for his word.

Read the book of Ezekiel alongside the prayers in this volume, and let these faithful words help you seek the Lord with trust, reverence, and praise.
