10 quotes on prayer

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:

1. D.A. Carson, "All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists."
2. Charles Spurgeon, "Anything is a blessing which makes us pray."
3. Robert Murray McCheyne, "God will either give you what you ask, or something far better."
4. A.W. Pink, "The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them."
5. 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."
6. Jerry Bridges, "Prayer is the most tangible expression of trust in God."
7. John Piper, "Prayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. Prayer humbles us as needy, and exalts God as wealthy."
8. J.C. Ryle, "Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you."
9. 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."
10. 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)
