Leonard Ravenhill on Prayer

Leonard Ravenhill said “No man is greater than his prayer life.” He's not just talking about the check-the-box-I-prayed-today religious kind of prayer, which isn't really prayer at all, but quality-time prayer, intercession, wrestling with God, like Moses, Jacob, and Daniel type of prayer. I think this quote speaks for itself.

Don't let this condemn you; let this inspire you – not to try harder because that won't work. Religion will never bring more of the Kingdom of God into our lives. But instead, let it inspire you to cry out to the Lord, with all your being, for a deeper prayer life, and he will call you into it. That place of intimacy is something he desires more than you do – he will always answer that heart cry in the affirmative.
