When troubles come may prayer be your automatic response.

If we are to depend on prayer during tough times, we should be people of prayer before the crisis hits.

Have you ever said, “Well, all we can do now is pray”? . . . When we come to the end of ourselves, we come to the beginning of God.

I realize more than ever that this ministry has been a team effort. Without the help of our prayer partners, our financial supporters, our staff, and our board of directors—this ministry and all of our dreams to spread the Good News of God’s love throughout the world would not have been possible.

No matter where we are, God is as close as a prayer. He is our support and our strength. He will help us make our way up again from whatever depths we have fallen.

Prayer should not be merely an act, but an attitude of life.

[Jesus] prayed briefly when He was in a crowd; He prayed a little longer when He was with His disciples; and He prayed all night when He was alone. Today, many in the ministry tend to reverse that process.

We should not pray for God to be on our side, but pray that we may be on God’s side.

Sometimes I’m asked to list the most important steps in preparing for an evangelistic mission, and my reply is always the same: prayer . . . prayer . . . prayer.

Prayers have no boundaries. They can leap miles and continents and be translated instantly into any language.

True prayer is a way of life, not just for use in cases of emergency. Make it a habit, and when the need arises you will be in practice.

Persecution, whether it is physical, social, or mental, is one of the worst types of pain, but those who persecute us are to be the objects of our prayers.
