The Prayer Motivator Minute #547

E.M. Bounds said, “Our praying needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage that never fails."

Our prayer motivator passage from the Word of God today is James 4:8 which reads: "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you."

Our prayer motivator quote today is from O. Hallesby. He said, “Most of us cannot quite understand how prayer can involve difficulty and anguish. Why should praying entail so much suffering? Why should our prayer life be a constantly flowing source of anguish? If we will reflect but for a moment, we will, however, see that it really cannot be otherwise. If prayer is, as we have seen, the central function of the new life of faith, the very heart-beat of our life in God, it is obvious that our prayer life must become the target against which Satan directs his best and most numerous darts.”
