Our prayer motivator verse from the Word of God today is Matthew 18:19 which reads: "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." 

Our prayer motivator quote today is from Sadhu Sundar Singh. He said, "Prayer is not a painful effort to gain from God help in the varying needs of our lives. Prayer is the desire to possess God Himself, the Source of all life. The true spirit of prayer does not consist in asking for blessings, but in receiving Him who is the giver of all blessings, and in living a life of fellowship with Him." 

Our prayer motivator devotional for today is titled PRAYER IS NOT NECESSARILY PRAISE, ADORATION, MEDITATION, HUMILIATION NOR CONFESSION, BUT ASKING from Dr. John R. Rice. Dr. Rice said... 

Again let me press upon your heart and mind that prayer is asking, and not anything else. 

Prayer is not praise, though praise is blessed. Psalm 50:23 says, "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God." Psalm 150:6 says, "Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD." David said in Psalm 103:1, "Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name." Praise is blessed. It is the duty of every grateful heart. But we must remember that praise is not prayer and prayer is not praise. Prayer is asking. 

Prayer is not adoration. Adoration is good. We ought to adore Him whom the angels adore. But adoration is not prayer, and prayer is not adoration. Prayer is always asking. It is not anything else but asking.
