Read through these stirring quotes

Thomas B. Brooks – “Prayer crowns God with the honor and glory due to His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. The most praying souls are the most assured souls.”

John Bunyan – “In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart.
Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin entice a man to cease from prayer. The spirit of prayer is more precious than treasures of gold and silver. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.”
“The best prayers often have more groans than words.” [John Bunyan (1628-1688)]

“You can do more than pray after you’ve prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.”-AJ Gordon

Thomas Kinkade – “The power of prayer is like turning on a light as it illuminates God’s purpose for our lives. There is no greater connection to knowing His will other than the word.”

Brother Lawrence – “Prayer is nothing else than a sense of God’s presence”

Martin Luther – “Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness.”

Thomas Lye – “I had rather stand against the cannons of the wicked than against the prayers of the righteous.”

The disciples went to our Lord and said, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ (Luke 11:1). They did not ask Him how to pray; they weren’t looking for lessons on technique or an outline for ritualistic prayer. They had obviously heard our Lord pray, and they wanted to learn how to pray on the same high level as He did. This is a request many of us today need to make: ‘Lord, teach us to pray.’” [taken from “On Prayer” – Praying and Living in the Father’s Will”]

F.B. Meyer – “Fall on your knees and grow there. There is no burden of the spirit but is lighter by kneeling under it. Prayer means not always talking to Him, but waiting before Him till the dust settles and the stream runs clear.”
“The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.”

D.L. Moody – “I believe in definite prayer. Abraham prayed for Sodom. Moses interceded for the children of Israel. How often our prayers go all around the world, without real definite asking for anything! And often, when we do ask, we don’t expect anything. Many people would be surprised if God did answer their prayers.” [How to Have a Good Prayer Meeting from Golden Counsels by Dwight L. Moody, 1899.]
Leonard Ravenhill – “To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.”

Samuel Rutherford – “I have benefited by my praying for others; for by making an errand to God for them, I have gotten something for myself.”

Allen E Vartlett – “Seven days without prayer makes one weak.”

Kenneth L. Wilson – “To pray ‘in Jesus’ name’ means to pray in his spirit, in his compassion, in his love, in his outrage, in his concern. In other words, it means to pray a prayer that Jesus himself might pray.”
