This document contains quotes from several Christian figures emphasizing the importance of prayer. Leonard Ravenhill states that lack of revival is due to an unwillingness to live without it. Martin Luther and Charles Spurgeon both highlight the significance of prayer, with Spurgeon saying he would rather teach one to pray than ten to preach. Oswald Chambers makes two points: that prayer is greater work than other works, and that people only pray when at their wit's end. Frank Laubach stresses the importance of listening to God over giving him our own ideas in prayer. Martin Luther advocates for keeping prayers concise.

2. Leonard Ravenhill "The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!"

3. Martin Luther "As is the business of tailors to make clothes and cobblers to make shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray."

4. Charles Spurgeon “I would rather teach one man to pray than ten men to preach.”

5. Oswald Chambers "Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work."

6. Oswald Chambers "We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end."

7. Frank Laubach “ The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says ‘Amen’ and runs away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him our ideas.”

8. Martin Luther The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
