Oh! One hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.

Prayer
Prayer is a Sacrificial Offering – EM Bounds
Prayer in its highest form of faith is that prayer which carries the whole man as a sacrificial offering. Thus devoting the whole man himself to his all, to God in a definite, intelligent vow, never to be broken, in a quenchless and in passioned desire for heaven.

When sin takes over a nation – Carter Conlon
When sin takes over a nation, the end result is always confusion. Anger, accusation, and lust for control become the order of the day. Servanthood gives way to the desire to dominate. Sadly, democracy falls to dictatorship. There is only one way out. PRAY. (See Proverbs 29:2)

Price of Revival – Roy Hession
We sometimes talk about the price of revival, and we need to be very careful as to what we mean when we speak like this. We may place that price so high that we put revival right beyond the reach of the ordinary run of mortals. Maybe that is our way of attempting to justify God, that He has not yet, apparently, given the revival His people need. … There is without doubt a price to be paid for revival, but it is not of necessity the long nights of prayer or excruciating sacrifices, but of simply humbling pride to repent of sin.

Alone with the Living God – Keith Green
When the meeting is over and there is no one there to listen except the only One who matters, do you still have the same passionate joy in your spirit, just to be alone with the Living God?

We must pray now – Carter Conlon
I have an urgency in my Spirit. We must pray now. Incivility is rising to a boiling point in our society. Only God’s intervention can give us safe passage through the storm ahead. Pray for your family, friends, strangers, and even enemies. Pray for a mercy moment from heaven. Pray.

Simple Confident Faith – Andrew Murray
We need this simple, confident faith that God will give us what we ask for. Where it really exists, there will be no mistake about whether or not we should pray.
