PRAYER

“I won’t prayer for more than 20 minutes, but I can’t go 20 minutes without praying.” (Smith Wiggelsworth)

“We make time for the things that take from us , but we don’t make time for the thing that died for us.” (Michael Todd)

“Prayer is not the last recourse. It is the first resource.” (Paul Washer)

"Don't pray unless you expect an answer." (Paul Washer)

“I learned by experience that much prayer is the only means to success.” (Andrew Bonar)

“Praying without faith is like trying to cut with a blunt knife—much labor expended to little purpose. For the work accomplished by labor in prayer depends on our faith: “According to your faith,” not labor, “be it unto you.” (J.O. Fraser, Behind the Ranges, pg. 113)

“I went accordingly to my room, and locked my door, and putting the Bible on a chair, I went down on my knees at the chair. There I remained for several hours in prayer and meditation over the word of God; and I can tell you that I learned more in those three hours which I spent in this way, than I had learned for many months previously.” (George Müller)

“Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Spirit, for such things as God has promised.” (John Bunyan)

“If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.” (Robert Murray M’Cheyne)

“When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposeth us all he can.” (Richard Sibbes, Divine Meditations, p. 164)

“We live as we pray and we pray as we live.” (Sinclair Ferguson)

“What happens in the spirtual realm starts on our knees.” (Tim Conway)

“As it is the business of tailors to make clothes and of cobblers to mend shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray.” (Martin Luther)

“Prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic intercom for increasing our conveniences.” (Unknown)

“Reading without meditation is unfruitful; meditation without reading is hurtful; to meditate and to read without prayer upon both, is without blessing.” (William Bridge)

“If it is coincidence, I sure have a lot more coincidences when I pray than when I don’t.” (Unknown)

“Where God leads you to pray, He means you to receive.” (C.H Spurgeon)

“Where there is prayerfulness there is godliness.” (Spirtual Disciplines for the Christian Life, Donald S. Whitney, pg 99)

“Even as the moon influences the tides of the sea, even so does prayer…. influence the tides of godliness.” (C.H Spurgeon)

“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." (J.C. Ryle)

“The great fault of the children of God is, they do not continue in prayer; they do not go on praying; they do not persevere. If they desire anything for God's glory, they should pray until they get it. Oh, how good, and kind, and gracious, and condescending is the One with Whom we have to do! He has given me, unworthy as I am, immeasurably above all I had asked or thought!” (George Müller)

“‘Ask and you shall receive; everyone that asks, receives.’ This is the fixed eternal law of the kingdom: if you ask and receive not, it must be because there is something amiss or wanting in the prayer. Hold on; let the Word and Spirit teach you to pray aright, but do not let go the confidence He seeks to waken: Everyone who asks receives. ... Let every learner in the school of Christ therefore take the Master's word in all simplicity... Let us beware of weakening the Word with our human wisdom.” (Andrew Murray)

“I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.” (C.H Spurgeon)
