Perfect peace comes only through relating with the Peacemaker himself. — Bill Hybels

"When the spirit of adoration takes over and we begin pondering Gods attributes, we soon say from the heart, I am praying to a tremendous God! Which only motivates us to keep on praying."

"Playing around is one thing; following an established regimen is quite another. Its true with exercise equipment and it is true with prayer."

"I can write about prayer, you can read about prayer...but sooner or later you have to fall to your knees and just plain pray. Then, and only then, will you begin to operate in the vein of Gods miracle-working ways."

"If the request is wrong, God says, "No." If the timing is wrong, God says, "Slow." If you are wrong, God says, "Grow." But if the request is right, the timing is right and you are right, God says, "Go!"

"The key is to practice praying - and to practice praying regularly, privately, sincerely and specifically."

"If your life is rushing in many directions at once, you are incapable of the kind of deep, unhurried prayer that is vital to the Christian walk."
