Prayer is an important and special time with God. Jesus is our ultimate example for prayer; the most famous of all prayer quotes is perhaps the Lord’s prayer said by Him in Matthew 6 and Luke 11. Other people in the Bible also offer prayer quotes, such as Paul in Philippians and Solomon in Proverbs. We know we are to pray, but sometimes we’re in a place were we struggle to find direction in a prayer or the words to say. That’s one reason going back to Jesus as our example is important, and hearing prayer quotes from faith leaders can provide insight for us, as well. Whether your prayer life is thriving, or you’re needing some inspiration, refreshing our minds with prayer quotes from great faith leaders can always encourage our time with God. Here are some prayer quotes to invigorate your time with God.

Most frequently we fail in not continuing in prayer until the blessing is obtained, and in not expecting the blessing.” George Müller
“When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.” R.A.
