Top Highlights

“‘Whether we like it or not,’ said Charles Spurgeon, ‘asking is the rule of the Kingdom.’ Asking humbles us, but it also glorifies God.” (Page 15)

“He who has learned to pray has learned the greatest secret of a holy and a happy life.” (Page 9)

“Deuteronomy 8:10: ‘When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you.’” (Page 19)

“Prayer is not unreasonable but super-reasonable, that is, above the greatest thoughts we might think. Like faith, hope, love, joy, and a host of other precious spiritual and emotional experiences, prayer can’t be put into a beaker and carried into the laboratory to be tested—but that doesn’t make it any less real. To quote Chambers again, ‘Prayer is not logical, it is a mysterious moral working of the Holy Spirit’ (Christian Discipline, vol. 2, p. 51).” (Page 12)

“They asked the Lord to give the church power to witness with boldness so that they would glorify the name of Jesus (see Acts 4:29–30). The focus was not on their comfort or even their safety but on the glory of the sovereign God. ‘Do not pray for easy lives,’ said Phillips Brooks. ‘Pray to be better men and women. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks.’” (Page 33)
