 We have not been men of prayer. The spirit of prayer has slumbered among us. The closet has been too little frequented and delighted in. We have allowed business, study or active labor to interfere with our closet-hours. And the feverish atmosphere in which both the church and the nation are enveloped has found its way into our prayer closets... Author: Andrew Bonar |
| God will not let me get the blessing without asking. Today I am setting my face to fast and pray for enlightenment and refreshing. Until I can get up to the measure of at least two hours in pure prayer every day, I shall not be contented. Meditation and reading besides. Author: Andrew Bonar |
| We must continue in prayer if we are to get an outpouring of the Spirit. Christ says there are some things we shall not get, unless we pray and fast, yes, "prayer and fasting." We must control the flesh and abstain from whatever hinders direct fellowship with God. Author: Andrew Bonar |
| Faith in a prayer-hearing God will make a prayer-loving Christian. Author: Andrew Murray |
| If the spiritual life be healthy, under the full power of the Holy Spirit, praying without ceasing will be natural. Author: Andrew Murray |
| O, let the place of secret prayer become to me the most beloved spot on earth. Author: Andrew Murray |

| Prayer is the natural and joyous breathing of the spiritual life by which the heavenly atmosphere is inhaled and then exhaled in prayer. Author: Andrew Murray |
| The coming revival must begin with a great revival of prayer. It is in the closet, with the door shut, that the sound of abundance of rain will first be heard. An increase of secret prayer with ministers will be the sure harbinger of blessing. Author: Andrew Murray |
| The enemy uses all his power to lead the Christian, and above all the minister, to neglect prayer. He knows that however admirable the sermon may be, however attractive the service, however faithful the pastoral visitation, none of these things can damage him or his kingdom if prayer is neglected. Author: Andrew Murray |
| The man who mobilizes the Christian church to pray will make the greatest contribution to world evangelization in history. Author: Andrew Murray |
| Through His Spirit, the Spirit of prayer, our life may be one of continual prayer. The Spirit of prayer will help you become an intercessor, asking great things of God for those around you. Author: Andrew Murray |
| Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God's messengers be intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with us. Author: Andrew Murray |
