Prayer & Fasting

Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayer; support the tottering knees. Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down. 

~ John Wesley

Prayer - Priority One...

There is no effort comparable to prayer to God. In fact, whenever you want to pray, hostile demons try to interrupt you. Of course they know that nothing but prayer to God entangles them. Certainly when you undertake any other good work, and persevere in it, you obtain rest. But prayer is a battle all the way to the last breath. 

~ Agathon

The Most Important Workout!

"Endurance strengthens both your character and your trust in God. As you persevere through hardship, your faith gets a workout, building up your ability to withstand whatever challenges life throws at you." ~ Marcia Ford (Essentials for Life for Women)

My God Hears Me

"What a blessed prospect in my work - to know that even when the answer is long delayed, and there is a call for much patient, persevering prayer, the truth remains infallibly sure - 'My God hears me.'" ~ Andrew Murray
