Secret Prayer is a message of meditation based on the Bible and written by Hannah More (2 February 1745 – 7 September 1833) was an English religious writer and philanthropist, remembered as a poet and playwright in the circle of Johnson, Reynolds and Garrick, as a writer on moral and religious subjects, and as a practical philanthropist. Born in Bristol, she taught at a school established there by her father and began writing plays. She became involved with the London literary elite as a leading Bluestocking member. Her plays and poetry became more evangelical and she joined a group campaigning against the slave trade. In the 1790s she wrote several Cheap Repository Tracts on moral, religious and political topics, for distribution to the literate poor. Meanwhile, she did increasing philanthropic work in the Mendip area, encouraged by William Wilberforce. Born in 1745 at Fishponds in the parish of Stapleton, near Bristol, Hannah More was the fourth of five daughters of Jacob More (1700-1783), a schoolmaster originally from Harleston, Norfolk. He was from a strong Presbyterian family in Norfolk, but had become a member of the Church of England, and originally intended to pursue a career in the Church, but after the disappointment of losing a lawsuit over an estate he had hoped to inherit, he moved to Bristol, where he became an excise officer and was later appointed to teach at the Fishponds free school. They were a close family and the sisters were first educated by their father, learning Latin and mathematics: Hannah was also taught by her elder sisters, through whom she learned French. Her conversational French was improved by spending time with French prisoners of war in Frenchay during the Seven Years' War. She was keen to learn, and possessed a sharp intellect she was assiduous in studying, and according to family tradition, began writing at an early age. In 1758 Jacob established his own girls' boarding school at Trinity Street in Bristol for the elder sisters, Mary and Elizabeth to run, while he and his wife moved to Stony Hill in the city to open a school for boys. Hannah More became a pupil when she was twelve years old, and taught at the school in her early adulthood.

Samuel Lee (1625-1691) was a learned puritan divine and preacher who ministered in both England and New England. What is prayer? And what is the difference between prayer and secret prayer? What is the best method for secret prayer according to Scripture for the Christian? Lee expounds Matthew 6:6 in a most able and helpful manner to show the Christian what God expects in secret prayer, “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Lee covers the duty of secret prayer, managing secret prayer, various important directions for secret prayer, how one knows when their prayers are answered, how to discern if one has prayed well in order to gain the most profit from secret prayer, a number of questions on prayer both generally and specifically, and a final application of how prayer can be made most rewarding to the Christian overall. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.

Some people believe that there is a difference (albeit inconsiderable) between a Christian and a believer. They argue that a Christian has not completely understood the valid, valuable, and invaluable role that the Holy Spirit plays in serving Christ. They aver that a believer, on the other hand, is a Christian who has learned and developed a conviction born from experience that, without a daily contact and yielding to the Holy Spirit, could not be true to God, let alone communicate with Him. The question is, are you willing, hungry, and determined to communicate with God on behalf of lost souls in ways that would enrich your participation and discipline your understanding about the great commission as a prayer warrior? Prayer warriors are believers who have made a conscious effort to intercede for lost souls and to reach the world for Christ. They believe and have this inveterate conviction that prayer undergirds witnessing, and witnessing cultivates a culture of absolute and undeviating dependence on the Holy Spirit. They also believe that the church exists to witness for Christ. This book is about the Holy Spirit and His influence on all aspects of prayer. That is why any church qua church that does not have a group of dedicated men and women whose avowed mission is to pray for souls (prayer warriors) is making itself irrelevant in preparing for the second return of Christ. As you read, whether it is the chapter on prayer and the knowledge of God, prayer and the will of God, prayer and praise, prayer and faith, prayer and witnessing, prayer and the sovereignty of God, or secret prayer, you will discover, as I did, that the Holy Spirit stands ready to transform your own life because "He that watereth shall himself be watered" is an inflexible Biblical principle. My hope is that the Holy Spirit will not only fight for His outcomes as you read and apply these principles in your own life but also leaven your conviction.
