As Close as a Prayer

"No matter where we are, God is as close as a prayer. He is our support and strength."

- Billy Graham

Faith in Promises

"Do I pray more out of panic in response to my circumstances or out of faith in response to God's promises?"

- Oswald Chambers

Answered Prayers

"Sometimes the deepest desires of our hearts are answered years later in unexpected, triumphant ways."

- A quote from Recapturing Our Lost Riches by JoAnne Bennett on her Self-Titled blog

I Come Back To You

"Lord, I stand amazed at the things I've been privileged to experience. I marvel at the relationship You've offered to me and I've been able to walk in.  I accept more grace for this day.  Where I've turned aside or walked away in any area, I come back to You.  I trust You and believe that the promises You've made will not return to You empty-handed.  I know deep in my spirit where Your Spirit cries out, there is more. I embrace it today in Jesus' name - amen.'

- A prayer by Jason at the end of his post Walking Away From God on His blog Connecting to Impact

Prayer For The New Year

"Help us, O Lord! behold we enter
Upon another year today;
In Thee our hopes and thoughts now centre,
Renew our courage for the way;
New life, new strength, new happiness,
We ask of Thee; oh, hear, and bless!"

- Johann Rist
