Prayer
of Praise “Forgetting our own difficulties
and troubles, let us praise God for an opportunity to live
for the glory of His name. Let the fresh blessings of each
new day awaken praise in our hearts for these tokens of
His loving care. When you open your eyes in the morning,
thank God that He has kept you through the night. Thank
Him for His peace in your heart. Morning, noon, and night,
let gratitude as a sweet perfume ascend to heaven.”
—The Ministry of Healing,
p. 253.
Prayer
of Revival “A revival of true godliness among
us is the greatest and most urgent of all our needs. To
seek this should be our first work. There must be earnest
effort to obtain the blessing of the Lord, not because God
is not willing to bestow His blessing upon us, but because
we are unprepared to receive it. A revival need be expected
only in answer to prayer.” —Selected
Messages, bk. 1, p.121.
Pray in
Reverence “In prayer we enter the audience
chamber of the Most High; and we should come before Him
with holy awe.” —Thoughts
From the Mount of Blessing, p.106.
Prayer
of Thanksgiving “We do not pray any too much,
but we are too sparing of giving thanks. If the loving-kindness
of God called forth more thanksgiving and praise, we would
have far more power in prayer. Pray, pray earnestly and
without ceasing, but do not forget to praise.” —Testimonies
for the Church, vol. 5, p. 317.
Intercessory
Prayer “There are souls who have lost their
courage; speak to them, pray for them. There are those who
need the bread of life. Read to them from the Word of God.
. . . Pray for these [persons], and bring them to Jesus
Christ.” —Welfare Ministry,
p. 71.
Prayer
of Obedience “Those who bring their petitions
to God, claiming His promise while they do not comply with
the conditions, insult Jehovah. They bring the name of Christ
as their authority for the fulfillment of the promise, but
they do not those things that would show faith in Christ
and love for Him.” —Prayer,
p. 67.
