God knows that sometimes we lack words to express our feelings, heart-cry, thoughts. And so within the Bible he includes people's prayers as models to help our own.

More quotes by Anne Graham Lotz
Sometimes when you're suffering really intensely, you can't pray for yourself.
Anne Graham Lotz
The ultimate goal for me in prayer is to draw near to God...to fall in step with him...to discern his will so that my life might be lived accordingly...to discover what burdens are on his heart that I might take them into my own heart, then pray them back to him.
Anne Graham Lotz
Prayer offered without faith by a person that doesn't truly believe God exists will not be effective. Sin in our lives that we refuse to confess will also render our prayers ineffective.
Anne Graham Lotz
I think of religion as man's attempt to reach God, and you can't do that.
Anne Graham Lotz
The organized church sometimes puts boundaries on us that the Bible doesn't. So I'm living my life for an audience of one. I live my life to please God. Some people won't understand, but I don't give an account to some people.
Anne Graham Lotz
Knowing where you are going takes the uncertainty out of getting there
Anne Graham Lotz
One misconception is that if we follow God in the life of faith, and that means obedience - that we read His Word, we're obedient, we pray, we go to church, we do the right things - that somehow His blessing means we're going to be okay.
Anne Graham Lotz
For years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?
Anne Graham Lotz
Prayer is hard work. We may neglect it because we're too tired, too busy, or too distracted to put into prayer the effort required.
Anne Graham Lotz
My life's goal is not to write books my life's goal is to know God better today. The neat thing about a goal like that is you can achieve it. Faith is constant it's a relationship.
Anne Graham Lotz
There were so many outstanding women in scripture that were leaders. And, you know, the organized church sometimes puts boundaries on us that the Bible doesn't.
Anne Graham Lotz
If God can bring blessing from the broken body of Jesus and glory from something that's obscene as the cross, He can bring blessing from my problems and my pain and my unanswered prayer.
Anne Graham Lotz
When I was a teenager, I was trying to please people. I kept changing who I was to please the people I was with. And so once I just decided I wasn't going to do that anymore. I was going to live my life to please God. And so from that day to this, that's been my aim. Some people don't understand, but you can't please everybody anyway.
Anne Graham Lotz
Don't concentrate on what you lack, concentrate on what you have. Then give all of it to Jesus for His use.
Anne Graham Lotz
Our love for Christ is more important to Him than all of our service to Him. Strict obedience and services are not enough. Love for Jesus must come first.
Anne Graham Lotz
In the Bible, ordination - I don't see that in the Scripture. In the Bible, it's whether you're filled with the Holy Spirit, whether you're anointed by God, whether you're called by God, whether you're obedient to Him. I want to be those things, but I don't see any purpose for me in being ordained.
Anne Graham Lotz
If I can center down and strengthen the core of who I am, and the core of who I am is my relationship with God, then that helps me maintain peace deep down. If I can maintain a healthy spiritual core, I think that's enormous for helping the stress.
Anne Graham Lotz
Often, in the midst of great problems, we stop short of the real blessing God has for us, which is a fresh vision of who He is.
Anne Graham Lotz
The first secret to loving others is to immerse yourself in a love relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit - and abide there.
Anne Graham Lotz
It's sobering to contemplate how much time, effort, sacrifice, compromise, and attention we give to acquiring and increasing our supply of something that is totally insignificant in eternity.
Anne Graham Lotz
