Prayer
"Although it be good to think upon the kindness of God, and to love Him and praise Him for it; yet it is far better to gaze upon the pure essence of Him and to love Him and praise Him for Himself." The Cloud of Unknowing, Author Unknown
"Having a prayerful heart doesn't come naturally, and putting some kind of structure or plan in place to help us along can be of great benefit." Sacred Chaos- Rhodes
"Prayer is exhaling the spirit of man
and inhaling the spirit of God." Epwin Keith
"More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." Alfred Lord Tennyson
The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be slothfulness in prayer. Charles Spurgeon
“The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access.”
Tim Keller
"To pray...to listen to the voice of the one who calls us the 'beloved', is to learn that that voice excludes no one."
Henri Nouwen
“Prayer is not primarily saying words or thinking thoughts. It is, rather, a stance. It’s a way of living in the Presence, living in awareness of the Presence, and even of enjoying the Presence.” Richard Rohr
“Prayer does not fit us for the greater work;
prayer is the greater work.” Oswald Chambers
