QUOTES ABOUT PRAYER

The reason some succeed in battle is because they gain the victory on their knees before the fight begins. ?Unknown

“Prayer should be the breath of our breathing, the thought of our thinking, the soul of our feeling, and the life of our living, the sound of our hearing, the growth of our growing.” Prayer in its magnitude is length without end, width without bounds, height without top, and depth without bottom. Illimitable in its breadth, exhaustless in height, fathomless in depths and infinite in extension”. -Homer W. Hodge

Prayer does not fit us for the greater works; prayer is the greater work. ?-Oswald Chambers

“We are inclined to pray as though this world were in the grip of cold, fixed laws, with only the remote possibility that God might occasionally break through. We timidly whisper a few feeble petitions barely hoping, but certainly not believing that we shall receive. But God is not a prisoner in His own universe. Jesus is the Lord of all creation, King of kings and Lord of lords.” -Vance Havner

“Prayer is Spirit-suggested. It needs a strongly bended will. Through that comes the open or trained ear. So we learn God’s plans. We catch the prayer He needs to have prayed. His promise turns into a prayer on our lips, and so a prophecy of what He will do. Thus prayer is restrained as well as inspired. Its whole purpose is to get God’s love-will done through the needed human channels. Prayer’s touchstone is a trained ear.” – S. D. Gordon

“Some of the greatest prayer is prayer where you don’t say one single word or ask for anything…. God does answer and He does give us what we ask for. That’s plain; nobody can deny that unless he denies the Scriptures. But that’s only one aspect of prayer, and it’s not even the important aspect. Sometimes I go to God and say, “God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already.” God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.” -A.W. Tozer

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Father, through my face may your light shine;

Through my voice may your praise be heard;

Through my hands may your works be extended;

Through my life may your grace abound;

Through my heart may your love be known. -Roy Lessin
