Prayer

A Prayer Warning – Andrew Murray

Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do.

The Prayer Life of Hudson Taylor – DE Hoste

I should like to allude to a few points in the character of Mr. Hudson Taylor which impressed me personally, and which I think had something to do with the blessing that God granted to his efforts on behalf of this country (China). First his prayerfulness; he was of necessity a busy man, but he always regarded prayer itself as in reality the most needful and important part of the work.

– DE Hoste –


Time for everything but prayer – Oswald Smith

Oh, how few find time for prayer! There is time for everything else—time to sleep and time to eat, time to read the newspaper and the novel, time to visit friends, time for everything else under the sun—but no time for prayer, the most important of all things, the one great essential!

Stand Still and Go Forward – Charles Spurgeon

“Stand still” —keep the posture of an upright man, ready for action, expecting further orders, cheerfully and patiently awaiting the directing voice; and it will not be long ere God shall say to you, as distinctly as Moses said it to the people of Israel, “Go forward.”

– Charles Spurgeon –
