Pray

“I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”

“Any concern to be too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.”

“We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.”

“I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.”

“You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.”

Prayer As Our Foundation

It is not the work we do, the meetings we hold or the decisions we make that bring the greatest advances in the work; it is the time spent before the throne of God in prayer, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that brings power, laborers and resources into the ministry.

This is a group prayer line birthed by Kentucky business man, Jimmie Borders. People can call in 24/7 to pray for personal needs, this ministry and anything else they so desire. The added blessing is that Jimmie tithes from his businesses into the ministries who are represented. It is amazing how God uses prayer and a man we’ve never even met, to provide for this ministry.

“It may be necessary for some to pray from a sense of duty, but prayer at its best is spontaneous. I am in need; I take it to God. A problem arises; I ask God about it. A blessing is experienced; I cry, ‘Lord, Thou art so good!’ This is to me the real prayer life. I walk and talk with God and He answers.”
