Let's take a look together.


1. "You can do more than pray after you have prayed; but you can never do more 
      than pray until you have prayed."  A.J. Gordon

    three hours daily in prayer.  Martin Luther

7. "The most important thing a born again Christian can do is to pray." Chuck Smith

8. "Prayer does not change the purpose of God.  But prayer does change the 
     action of God." Chuck Smith

     despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers." Sidlow Baxter

10. “God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the 
       better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil …” E.M. Bounds

11.  “Prayer is where the action is." John Wesley

12.  "Satan does not care how many people read about prayer if only he can keep 
        them from praying. Paul E. Billheimer

13. "0h brother, pray; in spite of Satan, pray; spend hours in prayer; rather neglect 
       friends than not pray; rather fast, and lose breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper - 
       and sleep too - than not pray. And we must not talk about prayer, we must      
       pray in right earnest. The Lord is near. He comes softly while the virgins 
       slumber." Andrew A. Bonar

14. "Don’t 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

       still." E.M. Bounds

16. "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

      the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day." E.M. Bounds

17. "God's cause is committed to men; God commits Himself to men. Praying men 
       are the vice-regents of God; they do His work and carry out His plans." 
       E.M. Bounds

18. "The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity. If we want to see 
      mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, 
      failure and disappointment, let us answer God's standing challenge, "Call unto 
      me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou 
      knowest not!'" (J. Hudson Taylor) 

19.  "No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no  
       diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack." E.M. Bounds

20. "The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to 
      it."  E.M. Bounds

21. Prayer "is the root, the fountain, the mother of a thousand blessings." 
      Chrysostom 

22.  "Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into
        active aid."  E.M. Bounds 

23. Prayer should not be regarded "as a duty which must be performed, but rather 
      as a privilege to be enjoyed, a rare delight that is always revealing some new 
      beauty."  E.M. Bounds 

24.  "I never prayed sincerely and earnestly for anything but it came at 
       some time; no matter at how distant a day, somehow, in some shape, 
       probably the least I would have devised, it came."  Adoniram Judson 

25. "Our prayer must not be self-centered. It must arise not only because we feel 
       our own need as a burden we must lay upon God, but also because we are so
       bound up in love for our fellow men that we feel their need as acutely as our 
       own. To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in 
       which we can express our love for them." John Calvin

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

27. "Faith in a prayer-hearing God will make a prayer-loving Christian." 
       Andrew Murray

28.  "The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts,
       and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can 
       be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline." Oswald Chambers

29. "Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all 
       straits by which God's saints have been held."  E. M. Bounds

30. "A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life." 
       E. M. Bounds 

31. "We must begin to believe that God, in the mystery of prayer, has entrusted us
       with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down 
       to earth." Andrew Murray

32. "...[the] power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God 
       by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He 
       who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his 
       disposal." Charles H. Spurgeon

33. "Prayer is a spiritual law which cooperates with the mind of God. It has more in
       it than merely petition. It clothes itself in reality and power, with the force of 
       God Himself. It is an attitude of spirit and mind. Language is secondary in true 
       prayer." Gossner.

34. “What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new 
       organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can 
       use— men of prayer, men mighty in prayer"  E.M. Bounds

35. "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work."
        Oswald Chambers.

36. "It is not enough to begin to pray, nor to pray aright; nor is it enough to continue
       for a time to pray; but we must patiently, believingly, continue in  prayer until 
       we obtain an answer;  George Müller

37. “Those persons who know the deep peace of God, the unfathomable peace 
       that passeth all understanding, are always men and women of much prayer.”
         R. A. Torrey 

38. “Prayer can never be in excess.” C. H. Spurgeon

39. “The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says ‘Amen’ and runs 
       away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more  
       important than giving Him our ideas.” Frank Laubach

40. "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

41.Yes, worship of the loving God is man’s whole reason for existence.” 
       A.W. Tozer

42. “The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and 
        satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may 
        delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very 
        God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.”  A.W. Tozer 

43. "Prayer is the secret of power."  Evan Roberts

44. "Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other
       work and waited upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit’s power might be 
       manifested? We give too much attention to method and machinery and 
       resources, and too little to the source of power."  Hudson Taylor

45. "Where there is no vision of eternity, there is no prayer for the perishing." 
       David Smithers

46. "Prayer is buried, and lost and Heaven weeps.  If all prayed the wicked would 
       flee from our midst or to the refuge." Evan Roberts

47. "Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a   
       dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees."  Leonard Ravenhill

48. He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the 
      day. John Bunyan
 
49. "Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a 
       minister. Pray, then my dear brother; pray, pray, pray."  Edward Payson

50. "Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. 
       Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His 
        redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect 
        great things!"  Andrew Murray

How To Pray Effectively ?



 Effective prayer is what we are talking about and how to pray effectively and get result from your prayers are the focus of this article.There are two types of praying Christians in this world.The first type is the one who will always pray and get result from what they pray for. The second type is the one who prays but never get any result from it.There are one question we need to ask today : Why does God answer some prayer faster than other ? Although we might not be able to find out all the answers but at least we can find out some of them. Let us try to find out from the Bible and put it in our daily life as well.


A.There are some Bible verses that will show us about effective prayer as follow :



1. Pray according to God's will : This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us -  whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5:14-15)


2. Pray with a righteous mind"…The prayer of a 
    righteous man is powerful and effective" 
                                                                                                                                 (James 5:16)


3. Keep on praying with a thankful heart : Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ  Jesus"  
                       (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)


4. Beware of your motive : When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures" 
                                                                                                                                    (James 4:3)


5. Pray in the Holy Spirit : "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes  for us with groans that words cannot express"  
                                                                                                                          (Romans 8:26)


B.The teaching of Jesus about prayer : 


1. Faith will always be the key :


"'Have faith in God,' Jesus answered. 'I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, "Go, throw yourself into the sea," and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins'"
                                                                                                                     (Mark 11:22-25)


2. Pray in the name of Jesus :


"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 14:13-14).


Conclusion :
After we have just grasped some basic principles on effective prayer and what Jesus has to say about prayer, we need to put it into practice. Let's say a prayer item today, just put all these in a prayer and see How God will answer your prayer. Your experience will help lots of people. God bless you.
