Untitled Sermon (2)

Prayer begins and ends not with the needs of man but with the glory of God (John 14:13). It should be concerned primarily with who God is, what He wants, and how He can be glorified.

John F. MacArthur

The chief purpose of prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer.

R. A. Torrey

Prayer is only true when it is within the compass of God’s Word.

John Bunyan

Prayer isn’t a matter of getting on your knees. Prayer is the elevation of the heart to God and that is all a man needs to praise, to pray and to worship.8

A. W. Tozer

A girl prayed, “Lord, I am not going to pray for myself today; I’m going to pray for others.” But at the end of her prayer she added, “And give my mother a handsome son-in-law.”

Prayer at its best is the expression of the total life, for all things else being equal, our prayers are only as powerful as our lives.

A. W. Tozer

Self-examination is the high road to prayer.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones

8973 The armour is for the battle of prayer. The armour is not to fight in, but to shield us while we pray. Prayer is the battle.

Oswald Chambers

Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan. Prayer will cease a man from sin; or sin will cease a man from prayer.

John Bunyan

Everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones
