All decays begin in the closet; no heart thrives without much secret converse with God, and nothing will make amends for the want of it.<\/p>\n
John Berridge<\/i><\/p>\n
The western church has lost the prayer stamina of the mission churches in Asia, Africa, South America, Indonesia, and those of the underground church in many parts of the world. Yes, we are great organizers, but poor pray-ers.<\/p>\n
Paul E. Billheimer<\/i><\/p>\n
The leading defect of Christian ministers is want of a devotional habit.<\/p>\n
Richard Cecil<\/i><\/p>\n
A great many people do not pray because they do not feel any sense of need.<\/p>\n
Oswald Chambers<\/i><\/p>\n
They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.<\/p>\n
Adam Clarke<\/i><\/p>\n
A minister who prays not, who is not in love with prayer, is not a minister of the Church of God. He is a dry tree, which occupies in vain a place in Christ\u2019s garden. He is an enemy, and not a father, of the people. He is a stranger, who has taken the place of the shepherd, and to whom the salvation of the flock is an indifferent thing.<\/p>\n
Thomas Coke<\/i><\/p>\n
God has a good deal more to give than most of us are getting. \u201cKnee-ology\u201d is a much-neglected branch of Christian ethics. The Church loses immeasurably in strength and accelerated power by failing to test the wonderful promises of God in prayer. Oh, for somebody who can really pray.<\/p>\n
C.E. Cornell<\/i><\/p>\n
Of all the duties enjoined by Christianity none is more essential and yet more neglected than prayer.<\/p>\n
F. F\u00e9nelon<\/i><\/p>\n
The worst sin is prayerlessness.<\/p>\n
P.T. Forsyth<\/i><\/p>\n
It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions.<\/p>\n
Matthew Henry<\/i><\/p>\n
Who goes to bed and does not pray Maketh two nights to every day.<\/p>\n
George Herbert<\/i><\/p>\n
He who neglects prayer, thinking he has another doorway for repentance, is deceived by the devil.<\/p>\n
Isaac the Syrian<\/i><\/p>\n
He that flees from prayer flees from all that is good.<\/p>\n
John of the Cross<\/i><\/p>\n
Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.<\/p>\n
D.L. Moody<\/i><\/p>\n
A man cannot lead others where he is not willing to go himself. Therefore, beware of the prayerless church leader who no longer readily admits his own need for more of the person and power of Jesus Christ. Only a seeking, praying heart can truly encourage spiritual hunger in others!<\/p>\n
David Smithers<\/i><\/p>\n
Prayerlessness is a sin.<\/p>\n
Corrie ten Boom<\/i><\/p>\n
If we are too busy to pray, we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.<\/p>\n
R.A. Torrey<\/i><\/p>\n
The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos.<\/p>\n
A.W. Tozer<\/i><\/p>\n
Jesus Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.<\/p>\n
