“In order to enjoy the Word, we ought to continue to read it, and the way to obtain a spirit of prayer, is, to continue praying; for the less we read the Word of God, the less we desire to read it, and the less we pray, the less we desire to pray.”  －George Muller

“It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were to no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer. ”  －George Muller

“If we would deeply and thoroughly repent of any selfishness, laziness, carelessness, iniquity, sinful habits, worldliness, and prayerlessness, then it would be alot easier to go deeper in prayer, into the spirit of prayer, into the heart of God, into the power of God, and into the glory of God."  -Johnson and Pearl
