Q

Prayer is no fitful, short-lived thing. It is
no voice crying unheard and unheeded in
the silence. It is a voice that goes into
God’s ear, and it lives there as long as
God’s ear is open to holy pleas, as long as
God’s heart is alive to holy things. It is a
force that () the world

Q

who said

Prayer is opening of the heart to God as a
friend. Not that it is necessary to make
known to God what we are, but in order to
enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not
bring God down to us, but brings us up to
God.

saying and worthy of all acceptance.”

Q 
The very first words of the Lord’s Prayer
reveal a very basic truth: prayer is not
about () rules and methods, but

God we are drawn into a closer
relationship with one another.

2. relationship

17
Q

who said

“We must never allow anything to injure
our relationship with God; if it does get
injured we must take time and get it right.
The main thing about Christianity is not
the work that we do, but the relationship
that we maintain and the atmosphere
produced by that relationship. That is all
that God asks, and it is the one thing that
is being continually assailed.”

A

Oswald chambers

Q

If prayer is to be the very hear-beat of our

resort, but it must a reflex response to our
daily encounter with life as we know it.

Q

“In our prayer lives we often overlook a
personal relationship with the Lord. We come to
God with our lists. We pray for the sick, the
missionaries, our country, the church, our
families, our finances and the list continues. And
properly so. We ought to be praying for all these
individual situations on a daily basis. But too
often that is where our prayers end. What
happened to the relationship? Where in our
prayers have we drawn near to God.”
