Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts.
– Andrew Murray –
Nothing lies beyond the potential of prayer.
– Dick Eastman –
In these days there is not time to pray; but without time, and a lot of it, we shall never learn to pray. It ought to be possible to give God one hour out of twenty-four all to Himself.
– Samuel Chadwick –
Apostasy begins in the closet. No man ever backslid from the life and power of Christianity who continued constant and fervent in private prayer. He who prays without ceasing is likely to rejoice evermore.
– Adam Clarke –
Prayer is the slender nerve that moveth the muscles of omnipotence.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Whenever God is preparing to do something great in the earth, He first sets His people a-praying!
– Matthew Henry –
Prayer has obtained things that seemed impossible and out of reach. It has won victories over fire, air, earth, and water. Prayer opened the Red Sea. Prayer brought water from the rock and bread from Heaven. Prayer made the sun stand still. Prayer brought fire from the sky on Elijah’s sacrifice. Prayer overthrew the army of Sennacherib. Prayer has healed the sick. Prayer has raised the dead. Prayer has procured the conversion of countless souls.
– JC Ryle –
Oh! One hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world.
– David Brainerd –
Prayer is as the pitcher that fetcheth water from the brook, therewith to water the herbs: break the pitcher and it will fetch no water, and for want of water the garden withers.
– John Bunyan –
1628-1688
