When the fire of prayer goes out, the barrenness of busyness takes over.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Beware the barrenness of a busy life.
Prayer is commission. Out of the quietness with God, power is generated that turns the spiritual machinery of the world. When you pray, you begin to feel the sense of being sent, that the divine compulsion is upon you.
In working with people across the country and around the world, I've come to know that most of us go through times that re-route our prayer life.
Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
Prayer in the hour of need is a great boon. From simple trials to our Gethsemanes, prayer - persistent prayer - can put us in touch with God, our greatest source of comfort and counsel.
There are many reasons our prayers may lack power. Sometimes they become routine. Our prayers become hollow when we say similar words in similar ways over and over so often that the words become more of a recitation than a communication.
Prayer is so complicated.
It is only when the whole heart is gripped with the passion of prayer that the life-giving fire descends, for none but the earnest man gets access to the ear of God.
Prayer begins where human capacity ends.
Prayer is where the action is.
