let us pray
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ.”
Letter from the Apostle Paul to the Colossians 4:2-3
“Most churches think their members are gathered simply to take care of and build up each other. They don't know that God rules the world by the prayers of His saints, that prayer is the power by which Satan is conquered, or that by prayer the church on earth has disposal of the powers of the heavenly world. They don't remember that by His promise Jesus has consecrated every assembly in His name to be a gate of heaven where His presence is to be felt and His power experienced in the Father as He fulfills their desires.”
Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer
“Nothing in all nature is so lovely and so vigorous, so perfectly at home in its environment, as a fish in the sea. Its surroundings give to it a beauty, quality, and power which are not its own. We take it out, and at once a poor, limp dull thing, fit for nothing, is gasping away its life. So the soul, sunk in God, living the life of prayer, is supported, filled, transformed in beauty, by a vitality and a power which are not its own.”
Evelyn Underhill (early 20th century Anglican theologian), The Golden Sequence
