Top Highlights
“Andrew Murray wrote, ‘It is to prayer that God has given the right to take hold of Him and His strength. It is on prayer that the promises wait for their fulfillment, the kingdom for its coming, the glory of God for its full revelation.’2 Prayer is the means God has chosen to work through us.” (Page 38)
“What I want to do in this book, if I can, is to help us catch a glimpse of what we might be missing by not making prayer a vital part of our lives. I have found that prayer is the most wonderful gift in God’s great bag of blessings. It is the great adventure of the Christian faith.” (Pages 18–19)
“There are two kinds of prayer: personal and intercessory” (Page 14)
“All three of His commands—ask, seek, knock—are present imperatives. They could be translated this way: ‘Keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking.’” (Page 32)
“This parable appears to teach that if we willfully harbor unforgiveness in our hearts, the reason may be that the Holy Spirit does not live there.” (Page 143)
