Top Highlights
“Ultimately, prayer is to be experienced, not studied. In study we simply learn how to better communicate with God—and to that end, how to have a better relationship with our Creator. It is an experience to be pursued and a relationship to be valued beyond all others.” (source)
“Prayer is communication with God. In its broadest definition, prayer includes both verbal and nonverbal communication—it covers our thoughts and actions toward God, as well as our words toward God.” (source)
“2. We are able to discern more clearly the will of God for our lives in any given situation.” (source)
“In reality, however, the ‘prison’ in which we find ourselves may be the very place that God has designated for us to learn better how to serve Him, read the Bible, and pray more.” (source)
“Our healing lies not in our deliverance from the problem, but in developing a relationship with God in the midst of the problem.” (source)
