“Communication with God is vital to a vibrant relationship with him. We will never really know God in an intimate, personal relationship if we don't talk to him. Half of our communication with God is listening to what he has to say through his Word, which is why reading our Bibles is so important. The other half of communication is talking to him, which is prayer. Prayer is also important because the Bible commands us to pray.” ImportantReadingPrayerCommunicationListeningPrayingIntimateKnowing God Author:Anne Graham Lotz
“Desperation compels us to pray with fervent, focused faith - especially when we have no one else to turn to. God honors our faith when we place it in him alone - with no back-up plan, no other recourse, no other way out. He hears and answers our desperate heart cry, because he loves to show himself strong on our behalf.” HeartStrongCryPrayingHonorFocusedDesperateDesperationTurn To God Author:Anne Graham Lotz
“I believe our nation is in deep trouble. We seem to have lost our identity because in many ways we're separated from God. I believe it's imperative that God's people pray as Daniel did, or our nation may unravel morally and spiritually to the point of no return. I believe we desperately need the blessing of God.” PeopleBelieveI BelieveTroubleIdentityPrayingBlessing Author:Anne Graham Lotz
“The ultimate goal for me in prayer is to draw near to God...to fall in step with him...to discern his will so that my life might be lived accordingly...to discover what burdens are on his heart that I might take them into my own heart, then pray them back to him.” HeartFallGoalPrayerPrayingUltimateBurden Author:Anne Graham Lotz
“One of the most effective ways to pray is to ask God to give you a promise from his Word concerning whatever it is you're praying for. Then hold him to his Word as you pray it back to him. It's what has been called "reversed thunder." God keeps his Word, and basing our prayer on his Word gives our prayers strength and confidence because we know we're asking for something God wants to give us.” GivingPrayerPrayingPromiseOur Prayers Author:Anne Graham Lotz
“One misconception is that if we follow God in the life of faith, and that means obedience - that we read His Word, we're obedient, we pray, we go to church, we do the right things - that somehow His blessing means we're going to be okay.” IfsMeanChurchPrayingBlessingOkayObedienceRight ThingObedientMisconception Author:Anne Graham Lotz
