David's Daily Devotion for January 27

January 27, 2023 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, January 27.

We’re getting preoccupied with prayer at First Baptist Center. Three groups of men are meeting weekly to pray, our women are in the midst of a Bible study on prayer, our new prayer coordinator is getting our prayer ministry back on track, and this coming Sunday, our interim pastor, Dr. Tim Watson, will be preaching on the subject of (you guessed it) PRAYER! I think God may be trying to tell us something. Here are some great quotes on this great subject.

  • "To get our nation back on its feet, we must first get on our knees." - Billy Graham
  • "The power of prayer is in the One who hears it, not in the one who says it." - Max Lucado
  • "Prayer in the morning unlocks the door of the day." - Adrian Rogers
  • "All I know is when I pray, coincidences happen; and when I don’t, they don’t." - Dan Hayes
  • "Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?" - Corrie Ten Boom
  • "Prayer isn’t about overcoming God’s reluctance, but about laying hold of His willingness." - Martin Luther
  • "In prayer, it is better to have heart without words, than words without heart." - John Bunyan
  • "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go." - Abraham Lincoln
  • "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work." - Oswald Chambers

Meet you back here on Monday,
Bro. David
