Quotes about Prayer

PRAYER Lord, help me to put on the full spiritual armor You have provided for me so that I can "stand against the wiles of the devil" every day. In Jesus' name I pray. GO DEEPER

When we pray, we bring that power to bear upon everything we are praying about, and we allow the power of God to work through our powerlessness.

When we don't pray, it's like saying we have no need of anything outside of ourselves.

I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. 2 KINGS 20:5

God's power is not cheap. Just like the electric power that comes into our homes, there is a price to pay for it. Only the price is not monetary. The price is spending time filling ourselves with God's Word so we can understand the power. It's praying so we can access the power. It's living in obedience so we can maximize the power. It's praising and worshiping God so that we open up the lines through which God's power flows into our lives.

Pray that your children will develop a heart that seeks after God.

We will always need to ask God for His wisdom and counsel about everything, because He is the only one who knows the whole truth

Even though Jesus put the enemy under His feet and won the victory for us, we still must move into that victory. There are still battles to be fought in prayer.

Prayer is not telling God what to do. Prayer is partnering with God to see that His will is done. You don't have to fully understand what God's will is in order to pray that His will be done.
