Prayer is not getting man's will done in heaven, but getting God's will done on earth. It is not overcoming God's reluctance but laying hold of God's willingness.
Richard Chenevix Trench
Image
Prayer is, for me, not an opportunity to ask God to do stuff for me. Prayer is an opportunity to open myself, to try and understand his will, and oftentimes it's a prayer of thanksgiving, and sometimes it's a prayer of supplication, and sometimes it is just worship.
Francis Collins
Image
Prayer, like faith, obtains promises, enlarges their operation, and adds to the measure of their results.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer means that the total you is praying. Your whole being reaches out to God, and God reaches down to you.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Prayer is commitment. We don't merely co-operate with God with certain things held back within. We, the total person, co-operate. This means that co-operation equals committment.
E. Stanley Jones
Image
Prayer is not only asking, it is an attitude of heart that produces an atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural, and Jesus says, every one that asketh receiveth.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer as a means to effect a private end is theft and meanness.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Prayer is not the cunning art of using God, subjecting Him to one's selfish ends in an effort to get out of Him what you want.
F. Huegel
Image
Prayer is the conduit through which power from heaven is brought to earth.
Ole Hallesby
Image
Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer is powerful! It fills the earth with mercy, it makes the Divine clemency pass from generation to generation right along the course of the centuries wonderful works have been achieved through prayer.
Frances Xavier Cabrini
Image
Prayer is the bridge over which the Kingdom of God comes to the earth.
Rich Nathan
Image
Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God's work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God's work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer must carry on our work as much as preaching he preacheth not heartily to his people that will not pray for them.
Richard Baxter
Image
Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it. Painstaking care, much thought, practice and labour are required to be a skillful tradesman in praying. Practice in this, as well as in all other trades, makes perfect.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayers out of, very often, not the most religious part of me, but the most anxious part of me, the most desperately loving, fearing part of me.
Frederick Buechner
Image
Prayers said by good people are always good prayers
Willa Cather
Image
Prayer can come in only when fasting has done its work. It can make fasting easy and bearable.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Prayer doesn’t work in the way that you think. If you pray for good health and it is genuine, you might be coming into sickness. The essence of good health has to do with a most delicate well-being.
John de Ruiter
Image
Prayer is God's ordained way to bring His miracle power to bear in human need.
Wesley L Duewel
Image
Prayer is either petitional or, in its wider sense, inward communion.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Prayer will never do our work for us what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.
William Barclay
Image
Prayer is your way, often the only way, to water the harvest. By prayer you can bring the Holy Spirit's blessing on any gospel effort anywhere in the world.
Wesley L Duewel
Image
Prayer is not a means for us to persuade a reluctant God to do something which is against His better judgment. Prayer, rather is coming to God for the fulfillment of His will, coming to a God who delights to answer prayer.
