Prayer is a confession of one's own unworthiness and weakness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish turned Godward.
Prayer is not so much the means whereby God's will is bent to man's desires, as it is that whereby man's will is bent to God's desires.
Prayer is good: but when used as a substitute for obedience, it is naught but a blatant hypocrisy, a despicable Pharisaism.
Prayer is aligning ourselves with the purposes of God.
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.
The resistance to praying is like the resistance of tightly clenched fists. This image shows a tension, a desire to cling tightly to yourself, a greediness which betrays fear.
Prayer in private results in boldness in public.
Too often the word 'prayer' induces guilt because we don't do enough of it. After all, I've never met anyone who said they pray too much! All of us fall short. And we often feel like our prayers fall flat.
Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon.
