Top books to help prayer each day

These are in the chronological order I discovered them.

1. Psalms - all of life is there and prayer and praise for all occasions

2. The Valley of Vision  
- somewhat dated language. The author lectured when I was a student at All Nations. Much better than his lectures. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Valley-Vision-Collection-Puritan-Devotions/dp/0851518214/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511165885&sr=8-1&keywords=The+Valley+of+Vision&dpID=513uXTlqLuL&preST=_SX218_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

3. A Way to Pray: A Biblical Method for Enriching Your Prayer Life and Language by Shaping Your Words with Scripture 
 - Henry's commentary is famous but this is of more practical help https://www.amazon.co.uk/Way-Pray-Biblical-Enriching-Scripture/dp/1848710879/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1511171953&sr=1-1&keywords=A+Way+to+Pray

4.  Knowing God and Ourselves: Reading Calvin's Institutes Devotionally 
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Knowing-God-Ourselves-Institutes-Devotionally/dp/1848717180/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511161141&sr=8-1&keywords=knowing+god+and+ourselves&dpID=51FIDln0DRL&preST=_SY344_BO1,204,203,200_QL70_&dpSrc=srch Calvin's Institutes are the warmest of theologies and this is great on them.
