1 Samuel 12:23 (kjv) - Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.1 Thessalonians 5:17 (kjv) - Pray without ceasing.Prayerlessness is disobedience , for God's command is that men ought always to pray and not to faint. To be prayerless is to fail God, for He says, 'Ask of me.' Prayerlessness is sin.-Leonard RavenhillO my Saviour, I say to Thee again with more insistence than ever: Teach me to pray; implant in me all the dispositions needful for the prayer of the Holy Spirit. Make me humble, simple and docile; may I do all that is in my own power to become so. Of what use is my prayer if the Holy Spirit does not pray with me? Come, Holy Spirit. come to dwell and work within me! Take possession of my understanding and of my will; govern my actions not only at the moment of prayer but at every moment. I cannot glorify God nor sanctify myself save by Thee.-Jean-Nicolas Grou (1750)
