The following information was compiled by J. Darren Ely for a study called, "How to Deepen Your Prayer Life".
God can and will use us in direct proportion to our humility and obedience to Him. One great expression of humility and obedience is a life of prayer. Prayer is the means whereby we commune with our Lord. It is the means by which we are empowered with the life of God.
Prayer to the living God is the greatest unused resource in the world. It is the world's great, untapped Niagara! "If we have any regrets at all when we get to Heaven, one feels sure that the main burden of those regrets will be the fact that we did not do more earnest praying while on the earth." (Billy Graham) That we asked for crumbs when we could have had a banquet. But prayer must be more than an obligation -- it must become a passion for us.
As we begin to focus on prayer, you might want to read these types of prayers.
