From The Seven Wonders of Prayer by Armin Gesswein:
“Prayer is not only the shortest distance to God’s mighty throne, it is the only way in.”
“There are many churchgoers but few worshipers, because there are few pray-ers.”
“Only those who wait on Him can wait for Him.”
“In prayer we learn to hear Him speak first, and then we speak; He works, and then we work.  All proceeds from Him; words and works – and, in worship.”
“The promises of God are shaped, one by one, for our praying.”
“If we are too busy to pray, we are not only too busy, but barren.  Whatever else we may be doing, we certainly are not doing the works of God.”
“Everything that the Lord Jesus did was easy, except prayer….It was the one great work out of which all His works came…”
“Prayer is the highest and holiest work, and yet it is the most neglected ministry on earth.”
“Working is drudgery.  Even working for the Lord is dreary.  But working with him is delight.”
“With God, prayer is not everything, but everything is by prayer.”
“Unless we learn to pray, we never do battle for God…”
“The battle is won in prayer; in witnessing we simply take the spoils.”
“…God will not do apart from prayer what He has promised to do in answer to prayer, and it is my Christian responsibility to search the Scriptures and find out just what that is.”
“The promises, then, are the very size and shape our prayers should take; and they are also the size our answers should have.”
“Spurgeon once said, ‘The best evidence that we are in God’s will is the Devil’s growl!”
“Everything was by prayer.  The main reason for this is that their entire life and ours is to be on a constant miracle basis”
