Below are some great quotes on prayer. I hope that God will use them to encourage you to be part of our June Prayer Challenge which is 7 days of non-stop prayer by our ministry for our ministry here at Grace Church (see yesterday’s blog posting for more information).
I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had absolutely no other place to go. -- Abraham Lincoln
Wishing will never be a substitute for prayer. --Ed Cole
Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?-- Corrie Ten Boom
Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing. --E. M. Bounds
How often have we prayed something like, "O Lord, be with cousin Billy now in a special way"? Have we stopped to consider what it is we're requesting? Imagine that you are a parent who is preparing to leave your children with a babysitter. Would you dream of saying, "O Betsy, I ask you now that you would be with my children in a special way?" No way. You would say, "Betsy, the kids need to be in bed by 9 pm. They can have one snack before their baths, and please make sure they finish their homework. You can reach us at this number if there's any problem. Any questions before we go?" We are very specific with our requests and instructions for our babysitters. We want them to know specifics. It should be no different with prayer. --David Jeremiah
Prayer does not fit us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work. --Oswald Chambers
“Prayer is where the action is." John Wesley
"Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees." Corrie ten Boom
"Satan trembles when he sees the weakest Christian on his knees." William Cowper
"If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has."
“I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.” Charles Spurgeon
“The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history.” Andrew Murray
"Faith in a prayer-hearing God will make a prayer-loving Christian." Andrew Murray

These are some other quotes that I love about prayer.
ReplyDeleteThe one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.
-Samuel Chadwick
It is impossible to lose your footing while on your knees.
-Anonymous
I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it...
-Ezekiel 22:30
Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.
-Charles Spurgeon
Hoping these quotes help battle the mind in it's fight against unbelief and turn it into a confidence that God will take our petitions and answer them above and beyond what we can possible imagine.
Those are dynamite, Valerie! Thanks so much for sharing these with us! Blessings to you as we enter our 7 Days of Non Stop Prayer!
