Great Quotes on Prayer

From Roy Lessin today I post the following great quotes for our prayers

The Ministry of Prayer

“Prayer should be

the breath of our breathing,
the thought of our thinking,
the soul of our feeling, and
the life of our living,
the sound of our hearing,
the growth of our growing.”

Prayer in its magnitude is

length without end,
width without bounds,
height without top, and
depth without bottom.

Illimitable in its breadth, exhaustless in height,
fathomless in depths and infinite in extension. —HOMER W. HODGE

The Promises and Prayer

Every promise of Scripture is a writing of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: “Do as Thou hast said.”

The Creator will not cheat His creature who depends upon His truth; and, far more, the Heavenly Father will not break His word to His own child.

“Remember the word unto Thy servant, on which Thou hast caused me to hope,” is most prevalent pleading. It is a double argument: It is Thy Word, wilt Thou not keep it? Why hast Thou spoken of it if Thou wilt not make it good? Thou hast caused me to hope in it; wilt Thou disappoint the hope which Thou hast Thyself begotten in me?—C. H. SPURGEON
