prayer..

Pray often, for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan.
~ John Bunyan

The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men…men of prayer.
~ E. M. Bounds

So when we sing, 'Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship. It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence. We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts.
~ A.W. Tozer

Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude—an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God.
~ Arthur W. Pink
