When he finished,

one of his disciples said to him,


“Lord, teach us to pray…”

No One Is A Firmer Believer In The Power Of Prayer 

Than The Devil; 

Not That He Practices It,

He Suffers From It.

Of All The Things Christ Wants For Us,

and 

Focusing Our Attention On Him 

Are The Most Important.

Prayer Does Not Fit Us 

For The Greater Work:


Prayer Is The Greater Work.

Pray, And Let God Worry.

Martin Luther 

 

*          *          *          *          *

  

When A Man Is At His Wits’ End

It Is The Only Way 

He Can Get In Touch With Reality. 

Oswald Chambers

 

*          *          *          *          *

  

Concerning Prayer: 


Think About This

 

Before We Can Pray,

 

“Lord, Thy Kingdom Come,” 

 

We Must Be Willing To Pray, 

 

“My Kingdom Go.”  

Alan Redpath

While We Pray 

and 

After We Have Prayed.

 

Then We Can Wait For The Lord 

Ole Kristian O. Hallesby

Prayer Does Not Mean Asking God 

For All Kinds Of Things 

We Want,

 

It Is Rather 

The Desire For God Himself, 

The Only Giver Of Life.

That Are Breaking His Heart.

Those Who Do Not Believe 

Do Not Pray.

 

This Is A Good Functional 

Definition Of Faith.

 

Faith Prays, 

Unbelief Does Not.

John A. Hardon

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

Our Ordinary Views Of Prayer 

Are Not Found 

In The New Testament. 

 

We Look Upon Prayer 

As A Means 

For Getting Something 

For Ourselves;

 

The Bible’s Idea Of Prayer 

Is 

That We May Get To Know 

God Himself. 

Oswald Chambers

 

*          *          *          *          *

  

We Hear It Said 

That A Man Will Suffer 

In His Life 

If He Does Not Pray;

 

I Question It.

 

What Will Suffer 

Is The Life Of The Son Of God 

Within Him,

 

Which Is Nourished 

Not By Food

but 

By Prayer…

 

Prayer Is The Way 

The Life Of God Is Nourished. 

Oswald Chambers

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

There Is Not In The World 

A Kind Of Life 

More Sweet And Delightful 

Than That Of A Continual Conversation 

With God.

*          *          *          *          *

 

Prayer Is Not So Much 

An Act  

As It Is An Attitude,

 

An Attitude Of Dependency, 

Dependency Upon God. 

Arthur Pink 

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

The Third Petition Of The Lord’s Prayer Is 

Repeated Daily 

By Millions

 

Who Have Not The Slightest Intention 

Of Letting Anyone’s Will Be Done  

but 

Their Own. 

Aldous Huxley

 

*          *          *          *          *

  

I Used To Ask God 

To Help Me.

 

Then I Asked 

If I Might Help Him.

 

I Ended Up By Asking Him 

To Do His Work Through Me. 

Hudson Taylor

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

Prayer Is Not A Way 

Of Making Use Of God;

 

Prayer Is  A Way 

Of Offering Ourselves 

To God

 

In Order That 

He Should Be Able 

To Make Use Of Us… 

William Barclay

 

*          *          *          *          *


We Lean To Our Own Understanding, 

or 

We Bank On Service 

and 

Do Away With Prayer,

and 

Consequently By Succeeding 

In The External

 

We Fail In The Eternal, 

because 

In The Eternal

We Succeed Only 

By Prevailing Prayer. 

Oswald Chambers

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

When Man Works, 

Man Works.

 

When Man Prays, 

God Works.

*          *          *          *          *


The Value Of Consistent Prayer 

Is Not That He Will Hear Us, 

but 

That We Will Hear Him. 

William McGill

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

Our Prayers Lay The Track Down 

on 

Which God’s Power Can Come.

 

Like A Mighty Locomotive, 

His Power Is Irresistible, 

but 

It Cannot Reach Us Without Rails. 

Watchman Nee

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

We Have To Pray 

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 

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

Prayer Is Not Monologue, 

but Dialogue.

 

God’s Voice 

In Response To Mine 

Is Its Most Essential Part.

 Andrew Murray 

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

Prayer Is: 

“A Conversation 

between 

Two People Who Love Each Other”.  

Rosalind  Rinker

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

Every Christian Who Ever Did Anything 

For The Lord 

Was 

Characterized By 

That Notable Quality Called Prayer 

E. M. Bounds

 

*          *          *          *          *

 

If you worry, 

you didn’t pray.

 

If you prayed, 

don’t worry.


*          *          *          *          *

 

As a child of God, 

prayer is like calling

home every day.
