We will have to give up our prayer life utterly, or we will have to believe in Miracles.
I believe in Miracles.
I believe in divine intervention.
I believe that the prayer of Faith reaches God our Father, and when it reaches Him He acts in response to that Faith.
When He acts in response to our Faith, His action is above our reason. It is in the Realm of Miracles.
-- E.W. Kenyon

No miracles? 12/9 Friday faith
The instant that you say there are no Miracles in this dispensation, you deny that our walk is a walk by Faith, and you declare that our walk is a walk by Reason.
I challenge you to find one place where God tells us as believers to walk by Reason.
God is a Faith God.
We are a Faith Family.
We are all born by Faith.
We live by Faith.
By Faith we live, breathe, and have our being in Christ.
If there are no Miracles, then there is no reason for Faith.
If there are no Miracles, God can't answer prayer, because He can't answer prayer of any character that is not a Miracle.

It's a Miracle 12/8 Thursday thoughts
For God the Father to hear my prayer is equivalent to His answering it.
Now, for God to hear me is a Miracle.
For God to answer my prayer, regardless of its nature, is a Miracle.
Whether my petition is for a postage stamp or for a million dollars, it is a miracle.
Any divine intervention, any arrest of the laws of nature that comes in answer to Faith, is a Miracle.

Two Short Quotes 12/7 Wednesday wisdom
Let me state it with all the simplicity possible, that you can't have prayers answered without having miracles performed.
The two-fold value of prayer lies first in sitting in His presence, or in direct Fellowship with the Father.
The second benefit is the answer that comes to us.

Force Yourself 12/6 Tuesday truth
Force yourself into the prayer life. Regardless of how you feel, drive yourself to prayer.
You will be amazed how halting and stumbling will be your first attempts.
You have been rated, perhaps, as an unusual Christian in the Church.
Men look upon you as an outstanding Christian, but if they knew that in behind your public profession there was an empty closet, or an unused prayer room, they would be amazed.
If you live with the Lord in secret, you will be able to pray with great freedom in public.

Take Time to Pray 12/5 Monday meditation
So few of us, in our busy lives, take time to pray, that the Spirit searches through the congregation for the willing hearts that will deny themselves some of the common pleasures and will be first in the line of prayer instead of last.
On these willing hearts rolls the burden of the entire church.
Thank God, that in our church are found those who are willing to . . . hide away alone with Him to take my burden and yours that we have in some way failed to roll on the Lord. . .
It is a pity that more of us do not force ourselves into a life of prayer.
We have the time.
We use it in useless talk, or careless reading.
While the Spirit is searching for an outlet He must pass us by because we are not ready.
Oh, I beseech you, Reader, not to talk about it any more, or plan when you will do it,. but begin it now.
-- E.W. Kenyon

As Natural as Breathing 12/2 Friday faith
Prayer should be as natural as breathing and as enjoyable as eating.
Prayer should be as unconscious as our communication with each other.
It should not be the child of need, but should be based on a spiritual fellowship with the Father and with the Master so that our needs are His needs; for we are not our own, we are a part of him. . .
So we are laboring together with Him, and what we have considered personal needs are really His needs.
The work that we are doing is His work, so that prayer is not what we have thought it was; but it is a fellowship, a sharing; it is community interest.
