Quotes on Prayer

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it’s because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That’s the source of everything.  -A. W. Tozer -

Prayer does not mean asking God for all kinds of things we want, it is rather the desire for God Himself, the only Giver of Life. - Sadhu Sundar Singh -
