Shut the world out, withdraw from all worldly thoughts and occupations, and shut yourself in alone with God, to pray to Him in secret. Let this be your chief object in prayer, to realize the presence of your heavenly Father.

For a man, the best way to truly know God intimately is through prayer … I learned that discipline causes a man to succeed in life, in particular the discipline of prayer. Every man needs the discipline of prayer.
Coach Bill McCartney (founder of Promise Keepers)
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
James 5:14
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.
James 5:13
Evening and morning and noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.
Psalm 55:17
Prayer should not be regarded as a duty which must be performed, but rather as a privilege to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new beauty.
E.M. Bounds
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me!
Robert Murray McCheyne
Oh brother, pray; in spite of Satan, pray; spend hours in prayer; rather neglect friends than not to pray; rather fast, and lose breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper—and sleep too—than not to pray.
And we must not just talk about prayer; we must pray in right earnest. The Lord is near. He comes softly while the virgins slumber.
Andrew A. Bonar
He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and happy life.
William Law
Prayer will make a man cease from sin, or sin will entice a man to cease from prayer.
John Bunyon
No learning can make up for the failure to pray.
No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.
No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.

There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God.
Brother Lawrence
The men who have done most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day.
If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.
E.M. Bounds
Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.
E.M. Bounds
