None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by personal experience.

Prayer honors God; it dishonors self. It is man’s plea of weakness, ignorance, want; a plea which heaven cannot disregard. God delights in prayer.
E.M. Bounds (The Complete Works of E.M. Bounds on Prayer)
The purpose of prayer is not to get man’s will done in heaven, but to get God’s will done on earth.
Phillip Brooks
When a person is born from above, the life of the Son of God is born in him, and he can either starve that life or nourish it. Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.
Oswald Chambers
The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.
Andrew Murray
Before we can pray, “Lord, Thy Kingdom come,” we must be willing to pray, “My Kingdom go.
Alan Redpath
There come times when I have nothing more to tell God. If I were to continue to pray in words, I would have to repeat what I have already said. At such times it is wonderful to say to God, “May I be in Thy presence, Lord? I have nothing more to say to Thee, but I do love to be in Thy presence.
O. Hallesby
When we pray for the Spirit’s help … we will simply fall down at the Lord’s feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love.
Andrew Murray
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
Oswald Chambers (via myprayerpartner)
Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart-so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
Andrew Murray (via myprayerpartner)
We must move from asking God to take care of the things that are breaking our hearts, to praying about the things that are breaking His heart.
