Thoughts On Prayer

James 5:16 NIV
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

All that a christian does, even in eating and sleeping is prayer, when it is done in simplicity, according to the order of God, without either adding to or diminishing from it by his own choice. - John Wesley

Your life can be a continuous prayer to God; an everlasting expression of your love and devotion to Him. - JSS

Perhaps no sin of omission more frequently occasions this than the neglect of prayer. - John Wesley 

Romans 12:12 NIV
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Our prayers must be in-line with God's will. [This is the secret that unlocks effective prayer.] This requires us to be in daily communion with Him; to be in close relationship with Him; to listen deeply for His voice and trust His guidance; to join our heart with His so that they are indistinguishable: they beat as one. - JSS
