from Don't Just Stand There, Pray Something
by Ron Dunn

To pray in the name of Jesus is to pray according to His will, with His approval, and consistent with His nature, character and purpose. (p. 46)

If we wait until we understand everything about prayer, we’ll never pray. (p. 51)

There are some things God will do if we ask Him that He will not do if we do not ask Him. (James 2:4) (p. 52)

The most difficult thing to understand about prayer is why God would place this kind of power in the hands of people like us. (p. 53)

The big deal about prayer is not that we get what we ask for, but that God is glorified in our getting it. (p. 53)
