More From Billy Graham

Prayer is first of all listening to god. it's openness. god is always speaking; he's always doing something. prayer is to enter into that activity... convert your thoughts into prayer. as we are involved in unceasing thinking, so we are called to unceasing prayer. the difference is not that prayer is thinking about other things, but that prayer is thinking in dialogue,... a conversation with god.
Prayer Thinking Differences
Say the prayer first thing in the morning when you open your eyes; then say it again before you go to sleep. dream the prayer. feel the prayer with your emotional body. be the prayer; align your faith and intent with the prayer until your whole life is based on this prayer.
Dream Morning Prayer
Satan cannot deny but that great wonders have been wrought by prayer. as the spirit of prayer goes up, so his kingdom goes down. satan's strategems against prayer are three. first, if he can, he will keep thee from prayer. if that be not feasible, secondly, he will strive to interrupt thee in prayer. and, thirdly, if that plot takes not, he will labour to hinder the success of thy prayer.
Prayer Plot Three
I would love to have a more earnest prayer life! in my life, prayer is the single most difficult discipline. i love god and there's something in me that would rather do things for god than talk to god. i'm not by nature a mystical, devotional person. i like to do things. and so it's a challenge for me to have a faithful prayer life, but i know god loves me and he's not mad at me. he just wishes i would slow down and turn things over to him. and that's what i think you achieve through prayer.
Prayer Thinking Discipline
Prayer from the depth and prayer from the surface are two prayers. one can utter what christ has called 'vain repetitions', just repeating the prayer; one does not fix one's mind on the meaning of the prayer. if the depth of one's heart has heard the prayer, god has heard it.
Prayer Heart Two
But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

Every christian sect gives a great handle to atheism by their general dogma that, without a revelation, there would not be sufficient proof of the being of god.
Christian Giving Atheism
Christianity is not just involved with "salvation", but with the total man in the total world. the christian message begins with the existence of god forever, and then with creation. it does not begin with salvation. we must be thankful for salvation, but the christian message is more than that. man has a value because he is made in the image of god.
