My Daddy conversed with me sweetly about communion with the lord as we rode on our horses through the bushes today. My Mother came out of her prayer closet and her face was shining like the face of Moses as it is everyday when she’s been alone with God.

So many of us limit our praying because we are not reckless in our confidence in God.
– Oswald Chambers –
There is a real danger of worshipping prayer instead of praying because we worship. It is easy to do if we lose sight of our Lord and put the emphasis not on His command but on the thing that He commands.
– Oswald Chambers –
from If You Will Ask
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)
It is significant that the Lord thought it necessary to repeat the truth in so many forms. It proves that He knows our hearts, how doubt and distrust toward God are natural to us, and how easily we are inclined to rest in prayer as a religious duty without expecting an answer.

from Teach Me To Pray
Through consistent daily prayer, my whole life becomes devoted to my King and to the service of His kingdom.
– Andrew Murray –
Let the Lord alone be the object of your prayers.
– Charles Spurgeon –
True prayer is not the noisy sound
That clamorous lips repeat,
But the deep silence of a soul
That clasps Jehovah’s feet.
– Charles Spurgeon –
If we had more sleepless nights in prayer, there would be fewer souls to have a sleepless eternal night in hell.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
So many of us limit our praying because we are not reckless in our confidence in God.
