I will conclude with that excellent saying of Bernard: “Lord, I will never come away from Thee without Thee.” Let this be a Christian’s resolution, not to leave off his meditations of God till he find something of God in him.

Don’t Pray Without Heart – John Bunyan
When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words, than thy words without a heart.

Darkness is Paralyzed by Prayer – Oswald Chambers
The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think to pray.
– Oswald Chambers –
I Must Pray At All Times – Andrew Murray

Understanding Intercession – Oswald Chambers
Intercession does not develop the one who intercedes; it blesses the lives of those for whom he intercedes. The reason so few of us intercede is because we don’t understand this.
– Oswald Chambers –
In Love With Prayer – Thomas Coke
A minister, who prays not, who is not in love with prayer, is not a minister of the Church of God. He is a dry tree, which occupies in vain a place in Christ’s garden. He is an enemy, and not a father, of the people. He is a stranger, who has taken the place of the shepherd, and to whom the salvation of the flock is an indifferent thing.
– Thomas Coke –
Hear What God Says – Andrew Murray
I want my spirit to be a listening spirit waiting to hear what God says.
– Andrew Murray –
Measurement of Our Love for Others – AW Pink

Prayer is the Essential Work – Oswald Chambers
We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work. It is the supreme activity of everything that is noblest in our personality.
