Serious dealing with God in prayer is wrought in us by the Spirit, in whose light we see both God and ourselves, His majesty and our vileness, His purity and our sinfulness, His greatness and our nothingness.
— Thomas Manton (1620–1677)
Prayer
He who prays and watches not, is like him that sows a field with precious seed — but leaves the gate open for hogs to come and rout it up!
— William Gurnall (1616 – 1679)
Value of Prayer
There is no way that Christians, in a private capacity, can do so much to promote the work of God and advance the kingdom of Christ as by prayer.
— Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758)
Preparation for Prayer
Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!
— Andrew Murray (1828-1917)
Assurance
Prayer crowns God with the honour and glory that are due His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. Usually the most praying souls are the most assured souls.
— Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)
