John Calvin said, “for He ordained it not so much for His own sake as for ours. God often works behind the scenes, so we may never realize how God has used our prayer life to protect us from a certain situation. We often forget that God uses our prayers to protect us and guard us from danger. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing.” E.M. “Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. In this solitude is the occasion for private worship.” Donald S. This time of outward silence is the time of daily Bible intake and prayer. “Without exception, the men and women I have known who make the most rapid, consistent, and evident growth in Christlikeness have been those who develop a daily time of being alone with God. If we fail to do this, our prayer life will either die from discouragement and despair or become simply a duty which we feel we must perform.” Ole Hallesby “Nothing means so much to our daily prayer life as to pray in the name of Jesus. “Don’t forget to pray today, because God didn’t forget to wake you up this morning.” “Prayer should be the key of the day and the lock of the night.” “Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.” “To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” – Martin Luther But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.” – Max Lucado “Do not face the day until you have faced God in prayer.” “If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the victory through the day and I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer.” Martin Luther
