All My Requests Are Lost In One – Charles Wesley

All my requests are lost in one: “Father, Thy will be done!”

Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.

A man is what he is on his knees before God, and nothing more.

– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –

Prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.

– John Bunyan –

Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.

– John Bunyan –

When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words, than thy words without thy heart.

– John Bunyan –

A season of silence is the best preparation for speech with God.
