A
satisfying prayer life elevates and purifies every act of body and mind and
integrates the entire personality into a single spiritual unit. In the long pull
we pray only as well as we live. - A. W. Tozer
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self sufficient to feel
the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God
that made us. - Abraham Lincoln
Accustom
yourself gradually to carry Prayer into all your daily occupation -- speak, act,
work in peace, as if you were in prayer, as indeed you ought to be. -
François Fénelon
The reason
why many fail in battle is because they wait until the hour of battle. The
reason why others succeed is because they have gained their victory on their
knees long before the battle came. Anticipate your battles; fight them on your
knees before temptation comes, and you will always have victory. - R. A.
Torrey
No man is
greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the
people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to
display one's talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off. -
Leonard Ravenhill
Now
the more the mind is concerned about thinking and dealing with what is merely
lower and human, the more it is separated from the experience in the intimacy of
devotion of what is higher and heavenly, while the more fervently the memory,
desire and intellect is withdrawn from what is below to what is above, the more
perfect will be our prayer, and the purer our contemplation, since the two
directions of our interest cannot both be perfect at the same time. - Alfred
The Great
