The mightiest prayers are often those drenched with the Word of God.

Prayer
Desiring God’s Triumph – G. Campbell Morgan
Prayer is life passionately wanting, wishing, desiring God’s triumph. Prayer is life striving and toiling everywhere and always for that ultimate victory.

The outflow of revival – Steve Camp
Prayer is the burden of revival; repentance is the breakthrough of revival; evangelism is the blessing of revival; holiness is the bounty of revival.

The devil trembles when we pray – Samuel Chadwick
The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

Always respond to every impulse to pray – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Always respond to every impulse to pray. I would make an absolute law of this – always obey such an impulse. Where does it come from? It is the work of the Holy Spirit; it is a part of the meaning of “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Phil 2:12-13). This often leads to some of the most remarkable experiences in the life of the minister. So never resist it, never postpone it, never push it aside because you are busy. Give yourself to it, yield to it; and you will find not only that you have not been wasting time with respect to the matter with which you are dealing but that actually it has helped you greatly in that respect … Such a call to prayer must never be regarded as a distraction; always respond to it immediately, and thank God if it happens to you frequently.
– Martyn Lloyd-Jones –
Prayer is my chief work – Thomas Hooker
Prayer is my chief work, and it is by means of it that I carry on the rest.

Prayer is absolutely necessary – Edward Payson
Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother; pray, pray, pray.
– Edward Payson –
If you do not pray … – Robert Murray McCheyne
Give yourselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. If you do not pray, God will probably lay you aside from your ministry, as He did me, to teach you to pray.
– Robert Murray McCheyne –
The extraordinary prayers of God’s people – Jonathan Edwards
When God has something very great to accomplish for His church, it is His will that there should precede it, the extraordinary prayers of His people … when God is about to accomplish great things for His Church, He will begin by remarkably pouring out the spirit of grace and supplication.
