Great Christian Quotes on the subject of Prayer

How many Christians there are who cannot pray, and who seek by effort, resolve, joining prayer circles, etc., to cultivate in themselves the "holy art of intercession," ans all to no purpose. Here, for them and for all, is the only secret of a real prayer life --- "Be filled with the Spirit," who is "the Spirit of grace and supplication."
- Rev. J Stuart Holden


Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.
- E. M. Bounds


Whole days and weeks have I spent prostrate on the ground in silent or vocal prayer.
- George Whitefield


When God intends great mercy for His people, the first thing He does is set them a-praying.
- Matthew Henry


When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposeth us all he can.
- R. Sibbes


We know the utility of prayer from the efforts of the wicked spirits to distract us during the divine office, and we experience the fruit of prayer in the defeat of our enemies.
- John Climacus
