Our prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.
prayer moral mysterious
Prayer is not logical, it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit.

The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer; no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.

True intercession involves bringing the person, or the circumstance that seems to be crashing in on you, before God, until you are changed by His attitude toward that person or circumstance. People describe intercession by saying, "It is putting yourself in someone else’s place." That is not true! Intercession is putting yourself in God’s place; it is having His mind and His perspective.

The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline.
christian prayer alive
Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.

dream prayer live-life
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer.

prayer purpose presence-of-god
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
