Thoughts on Prayer

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.

I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.

The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

The greatest thing anyone can do for God or man is pray.

Prayer is where the action is.

Satan does not care how many people read about prayer if only he can keep them from praying.

Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it.

A man is powerful on his knees.

Satan trembles when he sees the weakest Christian on his knees.

There is no other activity in life so important as that of prayer. Every other activity depends upon prayer for its best efficiency.

He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.

Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.

We must begin to believe that God, in the mystery of prayer, has entrusted us with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down to earth.

Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to HIS voice in the depth of our hearts.

The more you pray, the less you’ll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You’ll feel more patient and less pressured.

I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.

Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.

He who kneels most, stands best.
