Prayer Quotes
-
To me, writing is prayer. I pray all the time.
Luis Alberto Urrea

Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints.
Oswald Chambers
-
Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.
Mark Twain
-

As a writer, I consider it my job to deliver new language to the church. Language that inspires, that deepens understanding. Language born from revelation. My prayer is that the lyrics of Christ Be Magnified would set the church on fire.
Cory Asbury
-
Other duties become pressing and absorbing and crowd our prayer. "Choked to death" would be the coroner's verdict in many cases of dead praying if an inquest could be secured on this dire, spiritual calamity.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
Solitude is Wisdom’s school. Attend then the lessons of your own soul; become a pupil of the wise God within you, for by his tuitions alone shall you grow into the knowledge and stature of the deities. The seraphs descend from heaven, in the solitudes of meditation, in the stillness of prayer.
Amos Bronson Alcott
-
It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.
William Gurnall
-
Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude - an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God.
Arthur W. Pink
-
No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire; no prayer without flame.
Edward McKendree Bounds
-
Prayer is continual abandonment to God.
Sadhu Sundar Singh
-
Prayer is either a sheer illusion or a personal contact between embryonic, incomplete persons (ourselves) and the utterly concrete Person.
C. S. Lewis
-
We have come to know Man as he really is. After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord’s Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.
Harold Kushner
-
There is great power in prayer. I strongly encourage personal and family prayer, which are important in building strong families. I'm wondering if many of you parents, you couples, have lost that essential moment of kneeling together at the end of the day, just the two of you, holding hands and saying your prayers. If that has slipped away from your daily routine, may I suggest you put it back-beginning tonight!
M. Russell Ballard
-
The prayer life does not consist of perpetual repetition of petitions. The prayer life consists of life that is always upward and onward and Godward
G. Campbell Morgan
