Our praying needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage that never fails.

Prayer
Guidance Demands Obedience – Elisabeth Elliot
Does it make sense to pray for guidance about the future if we are not obeying in the thing that lies before us today? How many momentous events in Scripture depended on one person’s seemingly small act of obedience! Rest assured: Do what God tells you to do now, and, depend upon it, you will be shown what to do next.

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.
