Perspectives on Prayer

It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favors.  George Washington

 
There has never been a spiritual awakening in any country or locality that did not begin in united prayer.  A.T. Pierson

To desire revival…and at the same time to neglect (personal) prayer and devotion is to wish one way and walk another.  A.W. Tozer

We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.”   “We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.  Oswald Chambers

Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life.    Jonathan Edwards

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

Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue; God’s voice is its most essential part.  Listening to God’s voice is the secret of the assurance that He will listen to mine.  Andrew Murray

True prayer is measured by weight, not by length. A single groan before God may have more fullness of prayer in it than a fine oration of great length.  C. H. Spurgeon

God shapes the world by prayer.  The more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil…   E.M.Bounds
