We can hear God's word every Sunday — or every day, if we choose — by going to church. We can read the Lord's word by reading the Bible whenever we please. But how do we hear him, and how do we communicate with him in return? Well, the Lord has given us the power of prayer to speak with him whenever we feel the time is right. By offering up words of thanks, turning to him during a time of need, or simply meditating with a few key words to center ourselves throughout the day, we know that God is tuned in to our lives and listening. It's easy for life to get in the way and to forget about this telephone line to the Lord, but these prayer quotes explain the power that prayer has and how much it means to our faith. The next time you need a quick reminder that God is near, turn to these quotes about prayer, and then offer one up to our Savior.
