“Prayer is not the last resort. It is the first and most effective line of attack.” ~Sheila Walsh

“When we work, we work, but when we pray, God works.” ~Max Lucado

“We look upon prayer as getting things for ourselves but the Bible’s idea of prayer is that we may know God.” ~Oswald Chambers

“True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor vocal performance. It is far deeper than that. It is a spiritual exercise with the Creator of heaven and earth.” ~Charles Spurgeon

“We must be alert in prayer. This means we must be aware as we pray. What should we be aware of? The schemes of Satan. The enemy want to distract you from prayer. He wants your mind to drift and your heart to be troubled. If we expect these things, we can counteract them by focusing more intently on the task before us- communicating with God.” ~Charles Stanley

“Maintaining a strong prayer life is easier than having to regain it.” ~Elton Streyle

“Prayer is the mechanism that brings down the power of heaven into your experience. It is the divinely authorized method that activates your spiritual armor and makes it effective. Prayer alerts the enemy to your awareness of his intentions while safeguarding you from his attacks.” ~Priscilla Shirer
