People will give themselves to prayer for numerous reasons, but at the core of it all is a God, raging with zealous desire.

We will never have more affection or passion for God than we understand He has for us. We will never be more committed to God than our understanding of His commitment to us.

God intends us to be like gods, he intends us to be like the Son of God. ... God has conceived in His heart of a plan to make a race of men that would live like gods on the Earth. He has conceived in His heart to have Sons that would live like His Son, the Lord Jesus lived... That we were to be on earth the extension and manifestation of God's life in heaven.

The power of God tenderizes and changes us, not spiritual disciplines. Spiritual disciplines only position us to receive.

The Lord calls each one of His children, no matter what his occupation-lawyer, doctor, maintenance man, carpenter, accountant, athlete, musician, teacher, homeschooling mom, and so on-to have a real prayer life.

Our work for God is to flow from loving God; thus, we work with Him instead of for Him.

Being a person of prayer is the most important calling in one’s life.
