Prayer is the spontaneous response of the believing heart to God. Those truly transformed by Jesus Christ find themselves lost in wonder and joy of communion with Him. Prayer is as natural for the Christian as breathing.
- John MacArthur
Prayer assumes the sovereignty of God. If God is not sovereign, we have no assurance that He is able to answer our prayers. Our prayers would become nothing more than wishes. But while God’s sovereignty, along with his wisdom and love, is the foundation of our trust in Him, prayer is the expression of that trust.
- Jerry Bridges
When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without words than thy words be without heart.
- John Bunyan
A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.
- Leonard Ravenhill
It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue for a time to pray; but we must pray patiently, believing, continue in prayer until we obtain an answer.
- George Muller
Many of us cannot reach the mission fields on our feet, but we can reach them on our knees.
- T.J. Bach
What the church needs today is not more or better machinery, not new organizations, or more novel methods; but men whom the Holy Spirit can use, men of prayer, men mighty in prayer.
- E.M. Bounds
Every saint is God's temple, and he who carries His temple about him, may go to prayer when he pleaseth.
- Augustine
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Luke 11:9 (KJV)
