How do you learn to pray? Well how do you learn to swim? Do you sit in a chair with your feet up drinking coke learning to swim? You get down and you struggle. That’s how you learn to pray.

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

Great eagles fly alone; great lions hunt alone; great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men; they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

Prayer is not a preparation for the battle; it is the battle!

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

The Church right now has more fashion than passion, is more pathetic than prophetic, is more superficial than supernatural.

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

The cross is going to judge everything in your life: your eating, your drinking, your sleeping, your spending, your talking. Everything is cross-examined!

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

There are three persons living in each of us: the one we think we are, the one other people think we are, and the one God knows we are!

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

Prayer is not an argument with God to persuade him to move things our way, but an exercise by which we are enabled by his Spirit to move ourselves his way.

Leonard Ravenhill (Author, 1907 – 1994)

The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.
