Remember that you can pray any time, anywhere. Washing dishes, digging ditches, working in the office, in the shop, on the athletic field, even in prison - you can pray and know God hears!
Prayer is more than a wish; it is the voice of faith directed to God.
Sometimes I'm asked to list the most important steps in preparing for an evangelistic mission, and my reply is always the same: prayer... prayer... prayer.
Prayer never works for me on the golf course. That may have something to do with my being a terrible putter.
Prayer shouldn't be casual or sporadic, dictated only by the needs of the moment. Prayer should be as much a part of our lives as breathing.
Be careful before leaving someone in a sorrowing situation. Say a word of prayer with them and share even a brief word of encouragement from the Scriptures.
I never pray on a golf course. Actually, the Lord answers my prayers everywhere except on the course.
Prayer is the rope that pulls God and man together. But, it doesn't pull God down to us: It pulls us up to Him.
It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.
The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless.
The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.
Prayers have no boundaries. They can leap miles and continents and be translated instantly into any language.
May our prayers today, and every day, be from our hearts and with the focus of our whole being.
Remember: He WANTS your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship.
