Humble Attempt to Promote Explicit Agreement and Visible Union of God's People in Extraordinary Prayer, . . .

Jonathan Edwards believed prayer could change history. Written in 1747, near the end of the First Great Awakening, this passionate pamphlet calls on Christians to stop praying in isolation and start praying in concert, a coordinated, synchronized movement of believers across denominational lines, united in purpose and timing. Edwards doesn't merely advocate for personal devotion; he lays out a strategy. Set specific days. Agree on requests. Make your unity visible. For Edwards, this wasn't spiritual networking, it was participating in what he saw as the very mechanism by which God's kingdom advances in history. The text crackles with scriptural urgency, historical examples of revival, and a conviction that ordinary people, praying together, can shape the eschatological moment. Nearly three centuries later, this brief work remains a challenge: what would it mean to actually agree in prayer? Who are we willing to unite with, and what are we willing to ask for together? A foundational document for anyone interested in American religious history, the dynamics of revival, or the radical possibility of corporate faith.
