Faced with a pile of problems, we may say with our lips that only prayer can solve them, yet we talk more than pray, worry more than pray, and scheme more than pray. In sum, we put everything before prayer; other things are placed in prominent positions while prayer is relegated to last place; it is the only thing which is not so important. ~Watchman Nee “You can do more than pray after you have prayed; but you can never…
“We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ”. ~ E. M. Bounds “As is the business of tailors to make clothes and cobblers to make shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray.” ~Martin Luther I know the plans I have in mind for you, declares the LORD; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope. When you…
The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity. If we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God’s standing challenge, “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not!” ~J. Hudson Taylor LORD my God, listen to your servant’s prayer and request, and hear the cry and prayer that your servant prays…
Don’t hesitate to be enthusiastic—be on fire in the Spirit as you serve the Lord! Be happy in your hope, stand your ground when you’re in trouble, and devote yourselves to prayer. (Romans 12:11-12, CEB) When I go aside in order to pray, I find my heart unwilling to approach God; and when I tarry in prayer my heart is unwilling to abide in Him. Therefore I am compelled first to pray to God to move my heart into Himself,…
Let us pray, and as we pray, let us make room for Jesus in our hearts. ~D.L. Moody If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves. Don’t think you’re going to get anything from the Master that way, adrift at sea, keeping all…
He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life. ~William Law Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and…
I call to God; God will help me. At dusk, dawn, and noon I sigh deep sighs—he hears, he rescues. (Psalm 55:16-17, MSG) When I pray, coincidences happen, and when I don’t pray, they don’t. ~William Temple ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ Dear friends in Christ, let’s pray in Jesus name! ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~ The Knots Prayer Dear God, please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life. Remove…
The only way to Heaven is prayer; a prayer of the heart, which every one is capable of, and not of reasonings which are the fruits of study, or exercise of the imagination, which, in filling the mind with wandering objects, rarely settle it; instead of warming the heart with love to God, they leave it cold & languishing. ~Jeanne Guyon Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God…
