Christian Prayer Quotes

“When we cannot pray as we would, it is good to pray as we can.”

“Prayer is such an intimate act, a place of vulnerability. It is, hopefully, when we are our least guarded, our most honest selves. And this is good, of course; this is as it ought to be. When we come to God, we certainly want to come as honestly and openly as we can; we want to be our truest selves before him. Prayer lets us be in a place of need.”

― Charles Spurgeon, Encouraged to Pray: Classic Sermons on Prayer

― Benjamin W. Decker
