Untitled Sermon (6)

987God the Holy Ghost writes our prayers, God the Son presents our prayers, and God the Father accepts our prayers. And with the whole Trinity to help us in it, what cannot prayer perform?—54.342, 343

Charles Spurgeon

True prayer is measured by weight, not by length. A single groan before God may have more fullness of prayer in it than a fine oration of great length. The Secret Of Power In Prayer, Volume 34, Sermon #2002 - John 15:7

Charles Spurgeon

Lay no weight on the quantity of your prayers; that is to say, how long or how many they are. These things avail nothing with God, by whom prayers are not measured, but weighed.

Thomas Boston

Other duties become pressing and absorbing and crowd out prayer. ‘Choked to death’ would be the coroner’s verdict in many cases of dead praying if an inquest could be secured on this dire, spiritual calamity.

Edward McKendree Bounds

The goal of prayer is the ear of God.

Charles Spurgeon

8927 Prayer is not flight; prayer is power. Prayer does not deliver a man from some terrible situation; prayer enables a man to face and to master the situation.

William Barclay

The best prayers have more often groans than words.

John Bunyan

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.”

Anonymous

8751 A man prayed, and at first he thought that prayer was talking. But he became more and more quiet until in the end he realized that prayer is listening.

Soren Kierkegaard

One drop of Christ’s blood upon a prayer must make it prosper Peter’s Shortest Prayer, Volume 56, Sermon #3186 - Matthew 14:30

Charles Spurgeon

Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue. God’s voice in response to mine is its most essential part.

Andrew Murray

Prayer is the most tangible expression of trust in God.
