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!
– Oswald Smith –
Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.
– Oswald Chambers –
Prayer is God’s plan to supply man’s great and continuous need with God’s great and continuous abundance.
– EM Bounds –
Pray with authority … Some have spoken of this as “throne prayer”–praying with one’s hand touching the throne of God.
– T. Stanley Soltau –
“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 –
Prayer means not always talking to Him, but waiting before Him till the dust settles and the stream runs clear.
– FB Meyer –
Take the very hardest thing in your life – the place of difficulty, outward or inward, and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there He can bring your soul into blossom.
– Lilias Trotter –
Folks, it’s getting late and it’s getting serious.
– David Wilkerson –
from sermon “A Call to Anguish”
If the Lord Jehovah makes us wait, let us do so with our whole hearts; for blessed are all they that wait for Him. He is worth waiting for. The waiting itself is beneficial to us: it tries faith, exercises patience, trains submission, and endears the blessing when it comes. The Lord’s people have always been a waiting people.
– Charles Spurgeon –
