Don’t Stop Praying Till You’ve Prayed – AW Tozer

If when we come to prayer our hearts feel dull and unspiritual, we should not try to argue ourselves out of it. Rather, we should admit it frankly and pray our way through. Some Christians smile at the thought of “praying through,” but something of the same idea is found in the writings of practically every great praying saint from Daniel to the present day. We cannot afford to stop praying till we have actually prayed.

Don’t Limit God – 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.

Conquering Faith – Amy Carmichael

There is a kind of sympathy that weakens, and kind of sympathy that braces.  Which of the two we have to offer depends on how much we know of the Spirit of our Lord.  I have ceased to ask for easy ways for those I love most dearly.  I ask instead for a conquering faith, for strength and the blessing of peace.

Communion with Jesus – Charles Spurgeon

Come away to private communion. Come away, shut the doors of your chamber and talk with your Lord Jesus and have close and intimate dealing with Him.

One Practical Way to Live a Holy Life – JC Ryle

What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.
