Pray First


By Chris Hodges (summary by Jeffrey Bush)

  • Prayer is exchanging your best for God’s best.
  • It’s not “all’s well that ends well,” rather “all’s well that begins well.” Begin with
    prayer!
  • Too many times we make prayer more difficult than it needs to be.
  • Prayer is about a relationship, not a religion.
  • Before you act on or do anything, pray first. Pray before you go and as you go.
  • Having a prayer place is a good habit. It doesn’t matter if it’s at your home, office, a
    park, or elsewhere, the emphasis is you are with God in your heart.
  • Jesus seemed to favor praying to His Father outside.
  • The greatest force on earth is not from a government or weapon but God working
    and answering prayers.
  • God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God.
  • Why put your hope in the provision when you can put your hope in the Provider.
  • Prayer does not fit us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work. — Oswald
    Chambers
  • Prayer is relational and spiritual. It unleashes God’s power to work in churches,
    organizations, nations, and individuals.
