Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

So what is prayer? I believe it is communication with God. It is an expression of our thoughts and feelings to God.

Prayer is to religion what thinking is to philosophy.

What wings are to a bird and sails to a ship, so is prayer to the soul.

Prayer may not get us what we want, but it will teach us to want what we need.

Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?

We may pray when we say least, and we may pray least when we say most.

Prayer is talking to God. Meditation is listening to God.

To pray effectively we must want what God wants – that and that only is to pray in the will of God.

God does not listen to the prayers of the proud.

Most churches don’t know that God rules the world by the prayers of his saints.

Every great movement of God can be traced to a kneeling figure.

Pray as though no work would help, and work as though no prayer would help.

The church upon its knees would bring heaven upon the earth.

What is love if it be not fiery? What are prayers if the heart be not ablaze? They are the battles of the soul.

Prayer is essential to your relationship with Jesus. Talk to Him through prayer.

Prayer meetings are the throbbing machinery of the church.

Prayer is the breath of faith. Prayer meetings are the lungs of the church.
