 Lord, I am no longer my own, but Yours. Put me to what You will, rank me with whom You will. Let be employed by You or laid aside for You, exalted for You or brought low by You. Let me have all things, let me have nothing, I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine and I am Yours. So be it. Amen. Author: John Wesley |
| Proceed with much prayer, and your way will be made plain. Author: John Wesley |

| It is not surprising that prayer malfunctions when we try to make it a domestic intercom to call upstairs for more comforts in the den. Author: John Piper |
| God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances in the world. Prayer gives us the significance of front-line forces, and gives God the glory of a limitless Provider. The one who gives the power gets the glory. Thus prayer safeguards the supremacy of God in missions while linking us with endless grace for every need. Author: John Piper |
| God must speak to us before we have any liberty to speak to him. He must disclose to us who he is before we can offer him what we are in acceptable worship. The worship of God is always a response to the Word of God. Scripture wonderfully directs and enriches our worship. Author: John Stott |
| Every chain that spirits wear crumbles in the breadth of prayer. Author: John Greenleaf Whittier |
| The simple heart that freely asks in love, obtains. Author: John Greenleaf Whittier |
| His daily prayer, far better understood in acts than in words, was simply doing good. Author: John Greenleaf Whittier |
