quotes from Chapter 16 Characteristics of God-Honoring Prayer by Arturo G. Azurdia, III
"It is the conversation of adoration, the intimacy of intercession, the dialogue of dependence, and the humility of confession. Simply speaking, prayer is talk that honors God."
"God-honoring prayer is marked by a passion to be right before God."
"God is honored by a request for something only He can perform."
"One must ponder the extent to which our domesticated views of God have contributed to our correspondingly paltry praying."
"'Has God become so central to all our thoughts and pursuits, and thus to our praying, that we cannot easily imagine asking for anything without consciously longing that the answer bring glory to God?' D.A. Carson"
