 What can be more excellent than prayer; what is more profitable to our life; what sweeter to our souls; what more sublime, in the course of our whole life, than the practice of prayer! Author: Augustine |
| Yank some of the groans out of your prayers, and shove in some shouts. Author: Billy Sunday |
| I believe prayer for our nation has never been more important as we witness an accelerating anti-Christian fervor in the so-called mainstream of our culture. Author: Jonathan Falwell |
| Our President has given symbolic support to the National Day of Prayer but I believe that our nation needs an impassioned call to our collective knees. Author: Jonathan Falwell |

| A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
| A true prayer is an inventory of needs, a catalog of necessities, an exposure of secret wounds, a revelation of hidden poverty. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
| Anything is a blessing which makes us pray. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
| I always give all the glory to God, but I do not forget that He gave me the privilege of ministering from the first to a praying people. We had prayer meetings that moved our very souls, each one appeared determined to storm the Celestial City by the might of intercession. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
| I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer. Author: Charles Spurgeon |
| I trust there are none here present, who profess to be followers of Christ who do not also practice prayer in their families. We may have no positive commandment for it, but we believe that it is so much in accord with the genius and spirit of the gospel, and that it is so commended by the example of the saints, that the neglect thereof is a strange inconsistency. Author: Charles Spurgeon
