“The Church will win the world for Christ when—and only when—her people are fully immersed in prayer.” 
// Evelyn Underhill

Romans 12:12 ESV
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

“Prayer is more than self-stimulation. It is not a method of creating a positive mental attitude in ourselves. Rather, prayer is in large part a matter of creating in ourselves a right attitude with respect to God’s will. Jesus taught us persistence in prayer: keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. Persistent prayer makes it apparent that our petition is important to us, as it is to God.” 
// Millard Erickson

“I persist; I persevere in; I continue steadfast in; I wait upon.”

1 Thessalonians 5:17 ESV
Pray without ceasing.

“It is not in the moving of the lips, but in the elevation of the heart to God, that the essence of prayer consists.” 
// J.B. Lightfoot

How long should I pray, what time of the day, and what do I say?
