Here are the remainder of the quotes from the special prayer service my church had last week.
- Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.John Bunyan
- Prayer does not fit us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work. Oswald Chambers
- To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing. Martin Luther King, Jr.
- In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. John Bunyan
- Those who do not believe do not pray. This is a good functional definition of prayer. Faith prays, unbelief does not. John A. Hardon
- The lover of silence draws close to God. He talks to Him in secret and God enlightens him. John Climacus
- God’s answers are wiser than our prayers. Unknown
- Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart. Martin Luther
- Pray, and let God worry. Martin Luther
- Pray without ceasing. Apostle Paul
God have mercy on the generation
after the generation that does not pray.

I enjoed this post. Our generation is such a self-help one that I think prayer gets pushed to the back burner WAY TOO OFTEN. I catch myself talking to others and getting their thoughts and opinions at times before I fall to my bended knees and ask God.
Wrapping my mind around that last statement......
wow, that was a pretty powerful statement at the end...and so true!
Thanks for those awesome quotes! I do struggle in my prayer life, but desire to grow closer to God through prayer!
Gotta love John Bunyan and Martin Luther! We were just talking about both of them in Sunday School this morning!

I love both sets of quotes!!!
I liked the Hardon quote a lot. And Oswald Chambers, of course. They were all good.
