Lord...give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer.
-Roseanne Alexander-Isham

Dearest God, help us to pray more. We forget sometimes to ask You first before we do things or make decisions. We want to share our lives with You more. We need Your wisdom. We need to hear Your voice. Please help us. Amen.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
Colossians 4:2

God thirsts to be thirsted after.
-Augustine

In the ongoing work of the kingdom of God, nothing is more important than Intercessory Prayer. People today desperately need the help that we can give them. We can make a difference if we will learn to pray for them.
-Richard J. Foster

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be JOYFUL in hope, PATIENT in affliction, FAITHFUL in prayer.

It is impossible for me to overstate the need for prayer in the fabric of family life.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.

May the Lord keep watch between you and me when we are away from each other.

What God gives in answer to our prayers will always be the thing we most urgently nedd, and it will always be sufficient.

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

We desire many things and [God] offers us only one thing. He can offer us ONLY ONE THING-Himself. He has nothing else to give. There IS nothing else to give.

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up.
1 Thess. 5:11

Falling asleep in prayer is no problem. You can rest in God's presence. Besides, next to the heart of God is a good place, a SAFE place, for sleeping.
