I believe we should pray that God will take possession of our lives totally and completely. We should pray that we will be emptied of self— self-love, self-will, self-ambition—and be placed completely at His disposal.

Our prayers must be in accordance with [God’s] will. He knows better what is good for us than we know ourselves.

The Book of Psalms is the Bible’s hymnbook. It will show you what it means to walk with God in prayer and praise.

The devil will tremble when you pray.

We are to pray in times of adversity, lest we become faithless and unbelieving. We are to pray in times of prosperity, lest we become boastful and proud. We are to pray in times of danger, lest we become fearful and doubting. We need to pray in times of security, lest we become self-sufficient.

A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian.

If [Jesus] felt that He had to pray, how much more do we need to pray!

You cannot afford to be too busy to pray.

As I close my eyes in prayer, let me see the faces of those who need to know You, beloved Savior.
