Whether we write lyrics or craft legislation, sell homes or teach classes, design spaces or open franchises, prayer is a critical part of the creative process. Don’t just brainstorm praystorm.

More quotes by Mark Batterson
One of our fundamental spiritual problems is this: we want God to do something new while we keep doing the same old thing.
Mark Batterson
Prayer adds an element of surprise to your life that is more fun than a surprise party or surprise gift or surprise romance. In fact, prayer turns life into a party, into a gift, into a romance.
Mark Batterson
Most Christians are educated way beyond the level of their obedience already! We don’t need to know more, we need to do more.
Mark Batterson
You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. ...Prayer turns ordinary parents into prophets who shape the destinies of their children, grandchildren, and every generation that follows. ...Your prayers for your children are the greatest legacy you can leave.
Mark Batterson
You cannot be in the presence of God and be bored at the same time. For that matter, you cannot be in the will of God and be bored at the same time.
Mark Batterson
We give up too easily. We give up too soon. We quit praying right before the miracle happens.
Mark Batterson
I just don't think pastors should turn their pulpits into public policy platforms. It cheapens the gospel. Our congregation doesn't need another political opinion. They need spiritual revelation. They don't need to think about politics on the weekend. They need to be reminded to seek first the kingdom of God.
Mark Batterson
One God idea is worth more than a thousand good ideas.
Mark Batterson
God is not a genie in a bottle, and your wish is not His command. His command better be your wish.
Mark Batterson
Verse by verse, the Bible becomes more than theory. It becomes my firsthand experience.
Mark Batterson
Your greatest regret at the end of your life will be the lions you didn't chase. You will look back longingly on risks not taken, opportunities not seized, and dreams not pursued. Stop running away from what scares you most and start chasing the God-ordained opportunities that cross your path.
Mark Batterson
Leaders need the courage to acknowledge when something isn't working.
Mark Batterson
The more you’re willing to risk, the more God can use you. And if you’re willing to risk everything, then there is nothing God can’t do in you and through you.
Mark Batterson
You cannot build God’s reputation if you aren’t willing to risk yours.
Mark Batterson
If you want to find your voice, you need to hear the voice of God.
Mark Batterson
You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent.
Mark Batterson
You are only one prayer away from a dream fulfilled, a promise kept, or a miracle performed.
Mark Batterson
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Mark Batterson
The only God-ordained fear is the fear of God, and if we fear Him, we don't have to fear anyone or anything else
Mark Batterson
Embrace relational uncertainty. It's called romance. Embrace spiritual uncertainty. It's called mystery. Embrace occupational uncertainty. It's called destiny. Embrace emotional uncertainty. It's called joy. Embrace intellectual uncertainty. It's called revelation.
