“The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.” PeopleMenWayYoungEnemyBoysPrayingDisciplinePaperUrgesPapersDiscipleshipFanaticismWheatHarnessParables Author:Leonard Ravenhill
“IN THE BEGINNING I undertook my walking not only to contact people, I undertook it as a prayer discipline to keep me concentrated on my prayer for peace... After the first few years the prayer discipline was completely unnecessary, because I had learned to pray without ceasing. I made the contact so thoroughly that into my prayer consciousness I put any condition or person in the world I am concerned about and the rest takes place automatically.” PeopleWorldYearsFirstsPersonsMadePrayerConsciousnessConditionsPrayingDisciplineWalkingConcernedContactUnnecessary Author:Peace Pilgrim
“When I started out on my pilgrimage, I was using walking for two purposes at that time. One was to contact people, and I still use it for that purpose today. But the other was as a prayer discipline. To keep me concentrated on my prayer for peace. And after a few years I discovered something. I discovered that I no longer needed the prayer discipline. I pray without ceasing now. My personal prayer is: Make me an instrument through which only truth can speak.” PeopleYearsStillsTwoUseTodayPurposeSpeakPrayerPrayingNeededDisciplineWalkingInstrumentsContactI PrayPilgrimage Book:Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words Source: Peace Pilgrim: Her Life and Work in Her Own Words

“Like art, like music, like so many other disciplines, prayer can only be appreciated when you actually spend time in it. Spending time with the Master will elevate your thinking.

You will appreciate not only the greatness of prayer, but the greatness of God.” ThinkingArtPrayerGreatnessMastersPrayingDisciplineAppreciateSpendingEnd TimesAppreciatedSpend TimePraying To GodSpending TimeGreatness Of God Author:Joni Eareckson Tada
