John Onwuchewa on Praying with Others…

“We certainly shouldn’t try to impress others with our prayers, but we always involve them in our prayers. Why? Because we’re family. God is not just my Father, ‘Our Father.’ These two words remind us that we’re both children of God and siblings to each other. Prayer was never meant to be a merely personal exercise with personal benefits, but a discipline that reminds us how we’re personally responsible for others”

~ John Onwuchewa, Prayer, 41.

Let’s Get Back to the Basics!

Let us return to the basic things of the Word of God and prayer and soul winning and revival. Let us pray, “O God, send a revival. Let it begin in me.”

~ Lee Roberson

Donald Whitney on Praying with the Word of God.

“I have learned to . . . season my prayers with the word of God. It’s a way of talking to God in his language—speaking his dialect, using his vernacular, employing his idioms. . . . This is not a matter simply of divine vocabulary. It’s a matter of power. When we bring God’s word directly into our praying, we are bringing God’s power into our praying.”

~ Donald Whitney, Praying the Bible.

Our Prayers Can Tell Us What Our Souls Are Like

“Tell me what a man’s prayers are, and I will soon tell you the state of his soul.”

~ J. C. Ryle

M. E. Andross on the Importance of Prayer

“When prayer has become secondary, or incidental, it has lost its power. Those who are conspicuously men (and women) of prayer are those who use prayer as they use food, or air, or light, or money”

~ M. E. Andross

The Consequence of Prayerlessness

“Here’s our problem: prayerlessness is spiritual suicide.”

~ John Onwuchewa, Prayer, 39.

When Jesus Builds His Church, the Church will be Praying

“When Jesus built the church, he built a praying congregation.”

~ Armin Gesswein

Alexis Carrel on the Power of Prayer

“Prayer is a force as real as terrestrial gravity. As a physician, I have seen men, after all other therapy had failed, lifted out of disease and melancholy by the serene effort of prayer. Only in prayer do we achieve that complete and harmonious assembly of body, mind and spirit which gives the frail human reed its unshakable strength.”

~ Alexis Carrel

Prayer and Our Togetherness in Jesus

“if prayer clings to the hope we share in Christ, then prayer should reflect our togetherness in Christ. If prayer has a gospel shape, then by implication it must have a church shape.”

~ John Onwuchewa, Prayer, 37.

Prayer is Like a Prescription

“Like a prescription, prayer eases our concerns before repairing our circumstances.”

~ John Onwuchewa, Prayer, 36
