Prayer “No one is a firmer believer in the power of prayer than the devil; not that he practices it, but he suffers from it” – Guy H. King “The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes” – Martin Luther “It has been well said that almost the only scoffers at prayer are those who never tried it enough” – Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions “Seven days without prayer makes one weak” – Allen E. Bartlet “I feel it is far better to begin with God, to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another. In general it is best to have at least one hour alone with God before engaging in anything else” – E. M. Bounds “If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate; and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper” – Oswald Chambers “In Gethsemane the holiest of all petitioners prayed three times that a certain cup might pass from Him. It did not. After that the idea that prayer is recommended as a sort of infallible gimmick may be dismissed” – C. S. Lewis “We impoverish God in our minds when we say there must be answers to our prayers on the material plane; the biggest answers to our prayers are in the realm of the unseen” – Oswald Chambers “I would rather stand against the canons of the wicked than against the prayers of the righteous” – Thomas Lye “Man is the only creature which rises in bowing, for he finds elevation in his subjection to his Maker” – Anon. “God’s silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace” – Oswald Chambers
