Thoughts on Prayer

"The example of the Lord Jesus was not one of prayer in crisis only, but of prayer as a way of life."

"If we only understood the importance of prayer, we would give up sleep before we would give up prayer. Jesus did."

"Busy, busy, busy.....Work, work, work....I have so much to do today, I must spend the first three hours in prayer."

and my favorite,

"Of all the examples we can draw from Jesus' humanity, perhaps none is more compelling and more practical than the example He set for us with His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, When He asks, "Father, if Thou are willing, remove this cup," He shows us that we can ask the Father for the desire of our hearts. When Jesus concludes with "...yet not my will, but Thine be done," He teaches us the importance of surrender to the will of the Father. When that is our heart, we can bring any honest entreaty to our Lord."
