Prayer Quotes

I thought I'd kinda tie the last two posts together here by posting quotes about prayer. There is a mighty difference between saying prayers and praying. - John G. Lake

I have so much to do that I spend several hours in prayer before I am able to do it. - John Wesley

Of all the duties enjoined to a Christian, none is more essential and yet more neglected than prayer. - Francois Fenelon

Pray and let God worry. - Martin LutherIf God will do whatever He wishes, regardless of whether we pray or not, then we do not need to pray at all, and the Lord's instructions on praying for the Kingdom and the Will are superfluous.

Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work. - Oswald Chambers"Do we realize there is nothing the devil dreads so much as prayer? His greatest concern is to keep us from praying. He loves to see us "up to our eyes" in work - provided we do not pray. He does not fear because we are eager and earnest Bible students - provided we are little in prayer. Someone has wisely said, 'Satan laughs at our toiling, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.' All this is so familiar to us, but do we really pray? Let us never forget that the greatest thing we can do for God or for man is to pray. For we can accomplish far more by our prayers than by our works. Prayer is omnipotent; it can do anything God can do! When we pray, God works! All fruitfulness in service is the outcome of prayer - of the worker's prayers, or of those who are holding up holy hands on his behalf. We all know how to pray, but perhaps many of us need to cry as the disciples did of old, 'Lord, teach us to pray.'" (Quote taken from The Kneeling Christian)
