Christian Quotes About Prayer

Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?
– Corrie Ten Boom
Prayer

The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.
– F.B. Meyer
Prayer

Prayer is reaching out after the unseen; fasting is letting go of all that is seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepen, confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves to attain what we seek for the kingdom of God.
– Andrew Murray
Prayer | Fasting | Sacrifice

When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.
– R.A. Torrey
Satan | Prayer

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
– Augustine
Prayer | Achievement | Work

You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge to Satan.
– John Bunyan
Prayer | Satan | Sacrifice

Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart-so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
– Andrew Murray
Prayer | Strength | Holiness

As we pour out our bitterness, God pours in his peace.
– F.B. Meyer

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God’s heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them; they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.
– E.M. Bounds

Life | Prayer

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
– Martin Luther
Prayer

Persistence in prayer for someone whom we don’t like, however much it goes against the grain to begin with, brings about a remarkable change in attitude.
– F.F. Bruce
Prayer | Attitude

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor’s door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.
– E.M. Bounds
Prayer | Patience

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks
– Phillips Brooks
Prayer

All that God is, and all that God has, is at the disposal of prayer. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do everything, prayer is omnipotent.
– R.A. Torrey
Prayer

Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.
– Martin Luther
Prayer

In prayer we can approach God with complete assurance of His ability to answer us. There is no limit to what we can ask, if it is according to His will.
– John F. Walvoord
Prayer

Prayer is the master strategy that God gives for the defeat and rout of Satan.
– Wesley L. Duewel
Prayer

– G. Campbell Morgan
Prayer | Victory

The less I pray, the harder it gets; the more I pray, the better it goes.
– Martin Luther
Prayer

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. It surmounts or removes all obstacles, overcomes every resisting force and gains its ends in the face of invincible hindrances.
– E.M. Bounds
Prayer | Perseverance

There is no need to get to a place of prayer; pray wherever you are.

Prayer puts God’s work in his hands-and keeps it there.
– E.M. Bounds
Prayer

Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
– Oswald Chambers
Prayer

If God doesn’t want something for me, I shouldn’t want it either. Spending time in meditative prayer, getting to know God, helps align my desires with God’s.
– Philip Yancey
Prayer | Contentment

Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this always obey such an impulse.
– Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Prayer

Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except that which lies outside the will of God.

The more praying there is in the world, the better the world will be; the mightier the forces against evil everywhere.
– E.M. Bounds
Prayer | Good and Evil

God waits for you to communicate with Him. You have instant, direct access to God. God loves mankind so much, and in a very special sense His children, that He has made Himself available to you at all times.

When we pray for the Spirit’s help … we will simply fall down at the Lord’s feet in our weakness. There we will find the victory and power that comes from His love.
– Andrew Murray

God speaks through a variety of means. In the present God primarily speaks by the Holy Spirit, through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church.
– Henry Blackaby
11
The Holy Spirit | Prayer | The Bible

To pray in the Holy Spirit simply means to lean upon His divine help as we pray.
– William Thrasher
Prayer | The Holy Spirit

You must go forward on your knees.
– Hudson Taylor
Evangelism | Prayer

The true spirit of prayer is no other than God’s own Spirit dwelling in the hearts of the saints. And as this spirit comes from God, so doth it naturally tend to God in holy breathings and pantings. It naturally leads to God, to converse with him by prayer.
– Jonathan Edwards
The Holy Spirit | Prayer

Prayer is a sincere, sensible, affectionate pouring out of the soul to God, through Christ, in the strength and assistance of the Spirit, for such things as God has promised.
– John Bunyan
Prayer | The Holy Spirit

Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.
– Leonard Ravenhill
Gossip | Prayer

We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; The Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.
– Oswald Chambers
Prayer | The Bible

It is not the body’s posture, but the heart’s attitude that counts when we pray.
– Billy Graham
Prayer | Attitude | The Heart

All the prayers in the Scripture you will find to be reasoning with God, not a multitude of words heaped together.
– Stephen Charnock
Prayer | Scripture

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, ‘O God, forgive me,’ or ‘Help me.’
– Billy Graham
Christianity | Discouragement | Prayer

On every occasion of uneasiness, we should retire to prayer, that we may give place to the grace and light of God and then form our resolutions, without being in any pain about what success they may have. In the greatest temptations, a single look to Christ, and the barely pronouncing his name, suffices to overcome the wicked one, so it be done with confidence and calmness of spirit.
– John Wesley
Prayer

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.
– Hudson Taylor
Prayer | Work

No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one’s talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off.
– Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer

One of the most subtle burdens God ever puts on us as saints is this burden of discernment concerning other souls. He reveals things in order that we may take the burden of these souls before Him and form the mind of Christ about them. It is not that we bring God into touch with our minds, but that we rouse ourselves until God is able to convey His mind to us about the one for whom we intercede.
– Oswald Chambers
Prayer | Intercession | Discernment

A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.
– Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer | The Bible | Knowledge

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
– Billy Graham
Prayer

The Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Power helpeth our infirmity in prayer. The Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Life ends our deadness in prayer. The Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Wisdom delivers us from ignorance in this holy art of prayer. The Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Fire delivers us from coldness in prayer. The Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Might comes to our aid in our weakness as we pray.
– Leonard Ravenhill
The Holy Spirit | Prayer

Prayer is work. The experiences of many children of God demonstrate that it accomplishes far more than does any other form of work. It is also warfare, for it is one of the weapons in fighting the enemy. However, only prayer in the spirit is genuinely effectual.
– Watchman Nee
Prayer

I always give all the glory to God, but I do not forget that He gave me the privilege of ministering from the first to a praying people. We had prayer meetings that moved our very souls, each one appeared determined to storm the Celestial City by the might of intercession.
– Charles Spurgeon
Prayer | Intercession

Dont pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.
– Corrie Ten Boom
Prayer | Power

The secret of praying is praying in secret.
– Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer

You must pray with all your might. That does not mean saying your prayers, or sitting gazing about in church or chapel with eyes wide open while someone else says them for you. It means fervent, effectual, untiring wrestling with God. This kind of prayer be sure the devil and the world and your own indolent, unbelieving nature will oppose. They will pour water on this flame.”
– William Booth
Prayer

There come times when I have nothing more to tell God. If I were to continue to pray in words, I would have to repeat what I have already said. At such times it is wonderful to say to God, “May I be in Thy presence, Lord? I have nothing more to say to Thee, but I do love to be in Thy presence.”
– Ole Hallesby
Prayer

After a hard day scrambling to find your way around in the world, it’s assuring to come home to a place you know. God can be equally familiar to you. With time you can learn where to go for nourishment, where to hide for protection , where to turn for guidance. Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God’s house is a place of peace.
– Max Lucado
Prayer

Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.
– Hudson Taylor
Prayer

Whether we think of; or speak to, God, whether we act or suffer for him, all is prayer, when we have no other object than his love, and the desire of pleasing him.
– John Wesley
Prayer

Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.
– Oswald Chambers
Prayer

Nothing means so much to our daily prayer life as to pray in the name of Jesus. 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
Prayer

I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity: Jesus I believe in you and I receive you.
– Rick Warren
Prayer

Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God’s messengers be intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with us.
– Andrew Murray
Prayer | Intercession

Nowhere can we get to know the holiness of God, and come under His influence and power, except in the inner chamber. It has been well said: “No man can expect to make progress in holiness who is not often and long alone with God.”
– Andrew Murray
Prayer | Holiness

Prayer begets Revival, which begets more prayer.
– Jim Cymbala
Prayer | Revival

No man can hinder our private addresses to God; every man can build a chapel in his breast, himself the priest, his heart the sacrifice, and the earth he treads on, the altar.
– Jeremy Taylor
Prayer | Sacrifice

To strive in prayer means to struggle through those hindrances which would restrain or even prevent us entirely from continuing in persevering prayer. It means to be so watchful at all times that we can notice when we become slothful in prayer and that we go to the Spirit of prayer to have this remedied. In this struggle, too, the decisive factor is the Spirit of prayer.
– Ole Hallesby
Prayer | Perseverance

To be much for God, we must be much with God. Jesus, that lone figure in the wilderness, knew strong crying, along with tears. Can one be moved with compassion and not know tears? Jeremiah was a sobbing saint. Jesus wept! So did Paul. So did John. Though there are some tearful intercessors behind the scenes, I grant you that to our modern Christianity, praying is foreign.
– Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer | Intercession

Confidence that one’s impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.
– J.I. Packer
Prayer | Wisdom | Judging

The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.
– E.M. Bounds
Prayer | Men

In Shansi I found Chinese Christians who were accustomed to spend time in fasting and prayer. They recognized that this fasting, which so many dislike, which requires faith in God, since it makes one feel weak and poorly, is really a Divinely appointed means of grace. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to our work is our own imagined strength; and in fasting we learn what poor, weak creatures we are-dependent on a meal of meat for the little strength which we are so apt to lean upon.”
– Hudson Taylor
Prayer | Faith | Fasting

Careful for nothing, prayerful for everything, thankful for anything.
– Dwight L. Moody
Prayer | Thankfulness

The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be slothfulness in prayer.
– Charles Spurgeon
Church | Prayer

Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayer; support the tottering knees. Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down.
– John Wesley
Prayer | Fasting

You do not become a master musician by playing just as you please, by imagining that learning the scales is sheer legalism and bondage! No, true freedom in any area of life is the consequence of regular discipline. It is no less true of the life of prayer.
– Sinclair B. Ferguson
Music | Legalism | Prayer

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
– Oswald Chambers
