Christian Prayer

Prayer and the Word

Andrew Murray 168

Prayer and the Word are inseparably linked; power in the use of either depends upon the presence of the other. The Word gives you a subject for prayer. It shows you the path of prayer, telling you how God would have you come.

Prayer and His Word will result in blessed fellowship with God, the interchange of thought, love, and life—dwelling in God and God in you.

Prayer and the Word | Andrew Murray

"When Moses entered the Tent of Meeting to speak with the Lord, he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony. And he spoke with him". Numbers 7:89

With regard to the connection between prayer and the Word in our private devotions, the expression of a new convert has often been quoted: “When I pray, I speak to God; when I read the Bible, God speaks to me.”

When Moses went in to pray for himself or his people and to wait for instructions, he found Someone waiting for him. What a lesson for our morning watch!

A prayerful spirit is the spirit to which God will speak. A prayerful spirit will be a listening spirit waiting to hear what God will say. In my communion with God, His presence and the part He takes must be as real as my own.

As we enter the place of secret prayer, let us be as eager to hear Him speak as we are to say what is on our hearts. The highest blessing of prayer will come as we cease to pray and allow God to speak.


Prayer and the Word are inseparably linked; power in the use of either depends upon the presence of the other. The Word gives you a subject for prayer. It shows you the path of prayer, telling you how God would have you come.

It gives you the power for prayer—courage in the assurance that you will be heard. And it brings you the answer to prayer as it teaches what God will do for you.

On the other hand, prayer prepares your heart to receive the Word from God himself, to receive spiritual understanding from the Spirit, and to build faith that participates in its mighty working.

In prayer and His Word, God must be everything. Make God the aim of your heart, the one object of your desire. Prayer and His Word will result in blessed fellowship with God, the interchange of thought, love, and life—dwelling in God and God in you.

Power in Prayer

Andrew Murray
Throughout Andrew Murray’s writings, a common theme occurs: prayer. He continually returned to the need for prayer, its place in the Christian’s life, what to pray about, and how to pray.
Today, I commit myself daily to have intimacy with You, thereby I will grow and mature and have confidence in life.

Intimacy With God And Confidence In Life

Augustine Ampratwum Duah
One of our greatest needs is to know that we are loved. Each one of us has to feel certain, deep down in our hearts, that someone loves us, cares for us, and has our best interest at heart. That is how God designed us.
Your salvation is guaranteed, because He sealed your redemption at the cross.

The Faithfulness of God

Charles Stanley
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Today, you can embrace the fullness of His grace and live the abundant life He has planned.

An Infinite Treasury

Charles Stanley
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.
God does not want you to live a life that feels empty and unrewarding.

True Contentment

Charles Stanley
Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
The believer’s goal should be to greet God’s grace and forgiveness with genuine thanksgiving and contrition.

The Measure of God’s Grace

Charles Stanley
Our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
