Daily Prayer Message, Tuesday, April 7, 2020
Breathe Your Spirit
“Lord, breathe Your Spirit upon Your people, that they may learn to live for this one thing alone – for the Kingdom and glory of their Lord – and become fully awake to what their prayer can accomplish. And let all our hearts in this, as in every petition, be filled with the assurance that prayer, offered in faith to the living God, will bring certain and abundant answers.” Andrew Murray
This is one of the greatest quotes on prayer I have saved. Andrew Murray (1828 – 1917) was a South African writer, teacher and pastor. I have loved his books over the years, especially when I was a young believer, as he had an ability to communicate the Word of God in a clear but passionate way.
May we all pray “and become fully awake to what prayer can accomplish.”
O Lord of Hosts, hear my prayer, give ear O God of Jacob (Ps 84:8)
