quotes from Chapter 14 Crisis Praying vs. Consistent Praying by Dr. Bert Downs
Focus of Consistent Prayer: "Relational - want to know and be known by the One to whom I'm praying." Focus of Crisis Prayer: "Task - want something from the One to whom I'm praying." [Summary Chart]
"Consistent prayer builds the knowledge, understanding and confidence in God that makes a foundation for the inevitable crisis. Crisis prayer and God's response energizes our drive to be more consistent, to go deeper in our relationship with the Being who makes communication with Himself possible, invites it and then rewards it."
