Have you
noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late and
how
little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to
substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while
ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get
nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a
substitute for obedience. A. W. Tozer
Have you only repeated many a “form of prayer”, while the breathing desire, the living
words, have not come from your lips? C. H. Spurgeon
Have you, when in prayer, ever had the witness borne in upon you that your request
was granted? The Kneeling Christian
He can do all things who prays well. All soulwinners have conquered on their knees.
Wherever the secret of prevailing prayer is found, something supernatural will come to
pass. G. F. Oliver
He is the Giver not only of the answer, but first of the prayer itself. P. T. Forsyth
He manifests Himself to those who pray in secret as He cannot to those who have no
inner sanctuary of the soul. Samuel Chadwick

Helplessness is the real secret and the impelling power of prayer. O. Hallesby

How often has
very earnest prayer for the fullness of the Holy Ghost been in vain,
because he who sought that unspeakable blessing sought it rather for the glory which
the possession of it, or the reputation for the possession of it, might bring to man, than
for the honor and praise that might be brought to God. G. H. C. Macgregor

How many years
of our short life are spent to learn the Greek, Latin and French
tongues, that we may communicate among the living nations or understand the
writings of the dead? Shall not the language in which we converse with heaven and
the living God be thought worth equal pains? How laboriously do some persons study
the art of conversation, that they may accepted in all company and share in the favour
of men? Is not the same care due to seek all methods of acceptance with God, that we
may approve ourselves in this presence? What a high value is set upon human oratory
or the art of persuasion, by which we are equipped to debate and ail with our fellow
creatures? This art of divine oratory which teaches us to utter our inward utterings of
soul, and plead and prevail with our Creator through the asssitance of the Holy Spirit
and mediation of our Lord Jesus – is it of no esteem with us? Isaac Watts
How many periods of five, ten, or fifteen minutes that could be devoted to prayer do we
waste or leave unemployed in the course of a day”. J. Oswald Sanders
How terrible is the cost of robbing God of time for prayer. When we rob God of time for
quiet, we are robbing Him of ourselves. It is only in the quiet that we can really know
Him and know ourselves, and be sure that we give ourselves back to Him. Oh, for
God's sake, do not risk keeping the windows of Heaven closed by robbing God of time. Gordon M. Guinness

that corresponds to its power. Samuel Chadwick.
I find it a good thing to fast. I do not lay down rules for anyone in this matter, but I know
it has been a good thing for me to go without meals to get time for prayer. So many say
they have not sufficient time to pray. We think nothing of spending an hour or two in

In general we must hold that whenever any religious controversy arises, which either a
council or ecclesiastical tribunal behooves to decide; whenever a minister is to be
chosen; whenever, in short any matter of difficulty and great importance is under
consideration: on the other hand, when manifestations of the divine anger appear, as
pestilence, war, and famine, the sacred and salutary custom of all ages has been for
pastors to exhort the people to public fasting and extraordinary prayer. Calvin
In our prayer God returns from His projection in Nature to speak with Himself. When
we speak to God it is really the God who lives in us speaking through us to Himself.
His Spirit returns to Him who gave it; and returns not void, but bearing our souls with

It was your
Lord who put an end to long-windedness, so that you would not pray as if
you wanted to teach God by your many words. Piety, not verbosity, is in order when
you pray, since He knows your needs. Now someone perhaps will say: ‘But if He
knows our needs, why should we state our requests even in a few words? Why
should we pray at all? Since He knows, let Him give what He deems necessary for us.’
Even so, He wants you to pray so that He may confer His gifts on one who really
desires them and will not regard them lightly. Augustine

God. Let no sense of your unworthiness prevent your taking hold of the boundless and all-
sufficient grace of God. Lifeless prayer is no more prayer than a picture of a man is a man.
Richard Watson
Lips cry “God be merciful” That ne’er cry “God be praised.” O come let us adore Him!
The Kneeling Christian
Livingston of Shotts, on two different occasions, preached with such power that in
each service 500 were converted. Both sermons were preceded by a night of prayer.
Lord, Be Thou within me, to strengthen me; Without me, to keep me; Above me, to
protect me; Beneath me, to uphold me; Before me, to direct me; Behind me, to keep
me from straying; Round about me, to defend me. Blessed be Thou, O Lord, our
Father, for ever and ever. Lancelot Andrewes
Lord, make me
an instrument of Thy peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair,
hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek To be consoled as to console, To be understood as
to understand, To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is in
pardoning that we are pardoned; It is in dying that we are born to eternal life. - Francis of Assisi
Many of the most blessed seasons of prayer I have ever known have begun with the
feeling of utter deadness and prayerlessness; but in my helplessness and coldness I
have cast myself upon God, and looked to Him to send His Holy Spirit to teach me to
pray, and He has done it. R.A. Torrey
Many a person is praying for rain with his tub the wrong side up. Sam Jones
May not a single moment of my life be spent outside the light, love, and joy of God’s
presence and not a moment without the entire surrender of myself as a vessel for Him
to fill full of His Spirit and His love.” Andrew Murray
Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our
persons, but they are helpless against our prayers. J. Sidlow Baxter
Men of power are without exception men of prayer. Men who are reluctant about prayer do not belong in places of leadership in the church. Ivan French
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Tennyson
Most Christians do not give God a chance to show His delight in granting His
children's petitions; for their requests are so vague and indefinite.

No church can be said to be fulfilling its ministry to any degree if it is not laying hold of
the power of God through prayer. Ivan French
No man can progress in grace if he forsakes prayer. C. H. Spurgeon
No form of Christian service is both so universally open to all and so high in Christ’s

No reasoned philosophy of prayer ever taught a soul to pray. Samuel Chadwick
Nothing brings such leanness into a man’s soul as lack of prayer. C. H. Spurgeon
Nothing is beyond the reach of prayer except that which was out of the will of God.

Nothing more clearly illustrates Armin Gesswein’s philosophy of revival-prayer than

Nothing would
turn the nation back to God so surely and so quickly as a Church that

Oh, believe it, Prayer is the only thing absolutely certain and attainable on earth--this is

Only they who
have the mind of strangers and pilgrims can expect to have fellowship
with Jesus. Only attempt to effect nearness to God by your own exertions, when He has departed

faith in God. Ivan French
Our growth in prayer may be to us the test of our growth in all other respects. C. H. Spurgeon
Our Prayer-book, the Bible, does not prescribe prayer, but it does more--it inspires it.
And prayer in Christ's name is prayer inspired by His first interest--the gospel. Do not
use Christ simply to countersign your egoist petition by a closing formula, but to
create, inspire, and glorify it. Prayer in Christ's name is prayer for Christ's object--for
His Kingdom, and His promise of the Holy Ghost. P.T. Forsyth

Out of a very intimate acquaintance with D. L. Moody, I wish to testify that he was a far
greater prayer than he was preacher. Time and time again, he was confronted by
obstacles that seemed insurmountable, but he always knew the way to overcome all
difficulties. He knew the way to bring to pass anything that needed to be brought to
pass. He knew and believed in the deepest depths of his soul that nothing was too
hard for the Lord, and that prayer could do anything that God could do. R. A. Torrey
Paul had prayed most of his life but as soon a he was converted it is said of him

Prayer and theology both deal with God , but from different perspectives. Theology,

Prayer is the converse of the soul with God. Therein we manifest or express to Him our
reverence, and love for His divine perfection, our gratitude for all His mercies, our
penitence for our sins, our hope in His forgiving love, our submission to His authority,
our confidence in His care, our desires for His favor, and for the providential and
spiritual blessings needed for ourselves and others. Charles Hodge
Prayer goes by faith into the great orchard of God’s exceeding great and precious
promises, and with hand and heart picks the ripest and richest fruit. E. M. Bounds
Prayer has always been a primary mark of the saints of God in every generation of the

Prayer is the key, and faith both turns the key and opens the door, and claims the

Prayer is like “time exposure” of the soul to God, in which process the image of God is
formed on the soul. Prayer is indeed a continuous violent action of the spirit as it is lifted up to God. This is comparable to that of a ship going against the stream. Luther
Prayer is more than something you do; it is something God does through you. Ben Jennings

Prayer is not a soliloquy, where everything comes from one side; but it is a dialogue,
where God’s child listens to what the father says and replies to it, and then asks for the
things he needs. Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother: pray, pray, pray. Edward Payson
Prayer worth calling prayer, prayer that God will call true prayer and will treat as true
prayer takes far more time by the clock, than one man in a thousand thinks. Prayer was the cause, transfiguration was the effect. Luke 9:29
Prayer in the heart proves the reality of conversion. Prayer is self discipline. The effort to realize the presence and power of God stretches the sinews of the soul and hardens its muscles. To pray is to grow in grace. To tarry in the presence of the King leads to new loyalty and devotion on the part of the faithful subjects. Christian character grows in the secret place of prayer. Samuel M. Zwemer
Prayer delights God's ear; it melts His heart; and opens His hand. God cannot deny a
praying soul. Thomas Watson
Prayer does not equip us for greater works–prayer is the greater work. Oswald Chambers
Prayer takes the soul beyond doctrine. Prayer completes the return of all things back to Him from Whom they came. Prayer does not consist in the elegance of the phrase, but in the strength of the affection. John Mason (1646-1694)

Prayer, if it be done as a task, is not prayer. John Mason (1646-1694)
Prayer in the heart proves the reality of conversion. Prayer completes the circuit of God’s action in the world. Ben Jennings
Prayer in the Spirit is prayer whose supreme object is the glory of God; only in a
secondary sense does it seek a blessing for self or for others. Prayer is more than something we do it is something that God does through us. Prayer is an athletic of the soul. Prayer completes the circuit or God’s will, it affects His will. Ben Jennings
Prayer is omnipotent; it can do anything that God can do! Prayer is the soul’s breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father. Thomas Watson

whether they relate to this life or the life to come. Shall we not know how to use the
means God has appointed for our own happiness? Isaac Watts
Prayer is not given us as a burden to be borne, or an irksome duty to fulfill, but to be a
joy and power to which there is no limit. The Kneeling Christian
Prayer is going into the secret place of the Most High and abiding under the shadow of
the Almighty. Ps 91:1
Prayer, genuine and victorious, is continually offered without the least physical effort
or disturbance. Dr. Moule
Prayer is the key, and faith both turns the key and opens the door, and claims the
blessing. The Kneeling Christian
Prayer is like “time exposure” of the soul to God, in which process the image of God is
formed on the soul. Prayer is indeed a continuous violent action of the spirit as it is lifted up to God. This is comparable to that of a ship going against the stream. Luther
Prayer is more than something you do; it is something God does through you. Ben Jennings
Prayer does not change God’s will, it implements it. Prayer is omnipotent; it can do anything that God can do! Prayer is not conquering God’s reluctance, but taking hold of God’s willingness.
Phillips Brooks
Prayer is appointed to convey The blessing God designs to give. Prayer is God’s plan to supply man’s great and continuous need with God’s great and continuous abundance. E. M. Bounds
Prayer is the key, and faith both turns the key and opens the door, and claims the
blessing. The Kneeling Christian
Prayer is not a soliloquy, where everything comes from one side; but it is a dialogue,
where God’s child listens to what the father says and replies to it, and then asks for the
things he needs. Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother: pray, pray, pray. Edward Payson
Prayer worth calling prayer, prayer that God will call true prayer and will treat as true
prayer takes far more time by the clock, than one man in a thousand thinks. Prayer was the cause, transfiguration was the effect. Luke 9:29
Prayer in the heart proves the reality of conversion. Prayer is self discipline. The effort to realize the presence and power of God stretches the sinews of the soul and hardens its muscles. To pray is to grow in grace. To tarry in the presence of the King leads to new loyalty and devotion on the part of the faithful subjects. Christian character grows in the secret place of prayer. Samuel M. Zwemer
Prayer delights God's ear; it melts His heart; and opens His hand. God cannot deny a
praying soul. Thomas Watson
Prayer does not equip us for greater works–prayer is the greater work. Oswald Chambers
Prayer takes the soul beyond doctrine. Prayer completes the return of all things back to Him from Whom they came. Prayer does not consist in the elegance of the phrase, but in the strength of the affection. John Mason (1646-1694)
Prayer grows in proportion to its grounding in God’s Word. Ben Jennings
Prayer, if it be done as a task, is not prayer. John Mason (1646-1694)
Prayer in the heart proves the reality of conversion. Prayer completes the circuit of God’s action in the world. Ben Jennings
Prayer in the Spirit is prayer whose supreme object is the glory of God; only in a
secondary sense does it seek a blessing for self or for others. Prayer is more than something we do it is something that God does through us. Prayer is an athletic of the soul. Prayer completes the circuit or God’s will, it affects His will. Ben Jennings
Prayer is omnipotent; it can do anything that God can do! Prayer is the soul’s breathing itself into the bosom of its heavenly Father. Thomas Watson
Prayer is a golden chain: one end tied to the tongue of man, the other to the ear of God Prayer, real prayer, is the noblest, the sublimest, the most stupendous act that any creature of God can perform. The Kneeling Christian
Prayer reaches its highest level when offered in the Name which is above every name, for it lifts the petitioner into unity and identity with Himself Prayer is communion with God: the “home-life” of the soul. Prayer is not really a power till it is importunate. And it cannot be importunate unless it is felt to have a real effect on the Will of God. P.T. Forsyth
Prayer is the native movement of the spiritual life that receives its meaning and its soul
only in Eternity, that works in the style and scale of Eternity, owns its principles, and
speaks its speech . P.T. Forsyth
Prayer is the touchstone of true godliness. Prayer is an art which only the Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer. C. H. Spurgeon
Prayer Is What God Hears, Not Merely The Words We Utter; God Hears Our Thoughts,
The Desires Of Our Hearts. Prayer is not just our duty; it is our greatest dignity.
Prayer laid the tracks where the gospel was going to come. Ben Jennings
Prayer secret, fervent, believing prayer lies at the root of all personal godliness.
William Carey
Prayer should rise more out of God's Word and concern for His kingdom than even
out of our personal needs, trials, or desires. That is implied in prayer in Christ's name
or for Christ's sake, prayer from His place in the midst of the Kingdom. P.T. Forsyth
Prayer still remains what it would have been if man had never fallen. Prayer is going into “the secret place of the Most High,” and abiding under the shadow of the Almighty Ps. 91:1
Prayer is measured, not by time, but by intensity. The Kneeling Christian
Prayerless pulpits will produce prayerless and powerless congregations. Wesley Duewel
Prayerless is
an insult to God. Ben Jennings
Prayerlessness means unavailability to God. Wesley Duewel

Prayerlessness
proves that the person has very little love for God. Wesley Duewel
Prayers and praises go in pairs, they have praises who have prayers. Prayers are measured neither by time nor by number, but by intensity. Samuel Chadwick

Prayers
counted on a rosary are easier than the prayers of a soul poured out in
unrestrained speech to God. Samuel Chadwick

Prayer will
make you leave off sinning, or sinning will make you leave off praying. Praying

your praying. Ben Jennings
Preaching must necessarily be limited, but who can put a limit to the possibilities and
power of prayer? Ivan French
Prevailing prayer is the most divine ministry you will ever have. Wesley Duewel
Prevailing prayer is almost always for the sake of others. Wesley Duewel
Prevailing prayer is when intellect, emotion, and will unite to take hold of God. Prevailing prayer is aggressive spiritual warfare. Prevailing prayer makes men invincible. Samuel Chadwick

Private
prayer, when it is real action, is the greatest forge of personality. It places
a
man in direct and effective contact with God the Creator, the source of originality, and
especially with God the Redeemer as the source of the new creation. P.T. Forsyth
Private prayer, when it is made a serious business, when it is formed prayer, when we
pray audibly in our chamber, or when we write our prayers, guided always by the day's
record, the passion of piety, and above all the truths of Scripture, is worth more for our
true and grave and individual spirituality than gatherings of greater unction may be. P.T. Forsyth
Proud prayers may knock their heads on mercy’s lintel, but they can never pass
through the portal. C. H. Spurgeon
Public prayer ought to be the overflow of one’s private praying. D. A. Carson
Real faith not only believes that God can, but that He does answer prayer.
The Kneeling Christian
Rest not or be satisfied with drawing nigh to God, but obtain the promise.
Rest assured that God never bestows tomorrow’s gift today.
Revivals come to those cities and communities, which have believers who have taken
up the holy work of intercession. Prayer, O. Hallesby

Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.
Satan trembles when he sees, The weakest saint upon his knees. Satan does not fear because we are eager and earnest Bible students --provided we are little in prayer. Satan loves to see us "up to our eyes" in work: provided we do not pray. Satan does not fear because we are eager and earnest Bible students: provided we are little in prayer.
Satan’s chief way of hindering us is to try to fill our minds with the thought of our
needs, so that they shall not be occupied with thoughts of God, our loving Father, to
Whom we pray. The Kneeling Christian
Saul of Tarsus had been a praying man all his life, but it was not until then that he
began to pray as God interprets prayer. Act 9:11 Samuel Chadwick
Secret prayer is one of the best tests of sincere religion. See the incense of the Lord’s intercession and your prayer will rise up with and in His prayer. Adolph Saphir
Shall I come into your presence, O my God, and mock You with cold-hearted words?
C. H. Spurgeon
Should it not be recognized that the practice of prayer and intercession needs to be
taught to young believers, or rather developed in young believers, quite as much, if not
more so than other branches of the curriculum? Unless, however, we ourselves are,
through constant persevering practice, truly alive unto God in this holy warfare, we
shall be ineffective in influencing others. I am quite sure the rule holds that the more
we pray the more we want to pray; the converse also being true. D. E. Hoste
Sin quenches prayer, affliction quickens it. John Mason (1646-1694)
