Prayer in our private lives - more food for thought

'Prayer that affects our ministry must first give depth to our private lives. True prayer works mighty spiritual changes. The character of our praying will determine the character of our ministries. Prayer makes our words strong, gives them power, makes them stick. No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study will supply its lack.' E. M. Bounds

'God does nothing but by prayer and everything with it.' John Wesley

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

'Prayer does not fit us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work.' Oswald Chambers

'Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tyre?' Corrie Ten Boom
