The Throne of Grace In Hebrews 4:16, we are told to come to the sovereign Lord's throne with boldness and access in prayer. And in a similar manner, James 4 promises that if we "draw near to God," our God will "draw near to you," (James 4:8). What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
So, here are 10 quotes on prayer to ignite and encourage your prayer life: - D.A. Carson, "All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists."
- Charles Spurgeon, "Anything is a blessing which makes us pray."
- Robert Murray McCheyne, "God will either give you what you ask, or something far better."
- A.W. Pink, "The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them."
- Thomas Brooks, "God’s hearing of our prayers doth not depend upon sanctification, but upon Christ’s intercession; not upon what we are in ourselves, but what we are in the Lord Jesus."
- Jerry Bridges, "Prayer is the most tangible expression of trust in God."
- John Piper, "Prayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. Prayer humbles us as needy, and exalts God as wealthy."
- J.C. Ryle, "Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you."
- John Bunyan, "The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer."
- Martyn Lloyd-Jones, "Everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer."
As the word of the Lord commands us, "Pray without ceasing," (1 Thess. 5:17)
