God Himself.

Not By Food

By Prayer…

The Life Of God Is Nourished.

To Make Use Of Us…

In The Eternal
We Succeed Only 
By Prevailing Prayer.

With Our Eyes On God, 
Not On The Difficulties. 

Oswald Chambers

Beware 
In Your Prayers, 
Above Everything Else, 
Of Limiting God, 
Not Only By Unbelief,
but 
By Fancying That You Know 
What He Can Do.

 Expect Unexpected Things,
 Above All That We Ask Or Think.

 Each Time, 
Before You Intercede, 
Be Quiet First, 
and 
Worship God In His Glory.

 Think Of What He Can Do, 
and 
How He Delights 
To Hear The Prayers 
Of His Redeemed People.

 Think Of Your Place 
and 
Privilege In Christ, 
and 
Expect Great Things!

Andrew Murray

For The Lord 
Was

That Notable Quality Called Prayer

you didn’t pray.

If you prayed, 
don’t worry.

As a child of God, 
prayer is like calling
home every day.
