If your day is hemmed with prayer, it is less
likely to unravel.
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray.
James 5:13
Prayer begins by talking to God, but it ends by
listening to him. In the face of Absolute Truth, silence is the soul's
language. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979)
Our prayers lay the track down which God's power
can come. Like a mighty locomotive, his power is irresistible, but it
cannot reach us without rails. Watchman Nee (1903-1972)
In prayer it is better to have a heart without
words, than words without a heart. John Bunyan (1628-1688)
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in
all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1
Thessalonians 5:16,17
I know not by what methods rare, But this I know:
God answers prayer. I know not if the blessing sought Will come in just
the guise I thought. I leave my prayer to him alone Whose will is wiser
than my own. Eliza M. Hickok Do not pray for easy lives, Pray to be
stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, Pray for
powers equal to your task. Phillips Brooks (1835-1893)
As it is the business of tailors to make clothes
and of cobblers to mend shoes, so it is the business of Christians to
pray. Martin Luther (1483-1546)
At the profoundest depths in life, men talk not
about God but with him. D. Elton Trueblood (1900- )
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all
kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always
keep on praying for all the saints. Ephesians 6:18
