Secret Prayer

"The man who has gotten God’s word in the prayer closet neither seeks nor expects encouragement from men for the delivery of that word. The Spirit himself bears witness of the approval." ~Leonard Ravenhill

"I am perfectly confident that the man who does not spend hours alone with God will never know the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The world must be left outside until God alone fills the vision…God has promised to answer prayer. It is not that He is unwilling, for the fact is, He is more willing to give than we are to receive. But the trouble is, we are not ready..." ~Oswald Chambers

"The secret of praying is praying in secret." ~Leonard Ravenhill

"Shut the world out, withdraw from all worldly thoughts and occupations, and shut yourself in alone with God, to pray to Him in secret. Let this be your chief object in prayer, to realize the presence of your heavenly Father." ~Andrew Murray

"It would revolutionize the lives of most men if they were shut in with God in some secret place for half an hour a day." ~Samuel Chadwick
