Throughout History, the Lord has anointed great men and women to be teachers and preachers, with hearts of fire and messages of truth to match. Here we share some encouraging words about prayer from Godly leaders of our Church history.
"
Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they had found Him the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking." -A. W. Tozer, from The Pursuit of God
"As we lift up our soul in prayer to the living God, we gain the beauty of holiness as surely as a flower becomes beautiful by living in the sunlight. Was not our Lord transfigured when He prayed? And the ‘very fashion’ of our countenance will change, and we shall have our Mount of Transfiguration when prayer has its rightful place in our lives. … Our value to God and to man is in exact proportion to the extent in which we reveal the glory of God to others."
