God alone fully understands what each one of us needs we make mistakes continually and pray for things which would be harmful to us if we received them. Afterwards we see our mistakes and realize that God is good and wise in not giving us these things even though we plead ever so earnestly for them.
— O. Hallesby

Prayer is a condition of mind an attitude of heart which God recognizes as prayer whether it manifests itself in quiet thinking in sighing or in audible words.
— O. Hallesby

As white snow flakes fall quietly and thickly on a winter day answers to prayer will settle down upon you at every step you take even to your dying day. The story of your life will be the story of prayer and answers to prayer.
— O. Hallesby

Prayer brings a good spirit in our homes. For God hears prayer. Heaven itself would come down to our homes. And even though we who constitute the home all have our imperfections and our failings our home would through God's answer to prayer become a little paradise.
— O. Hallesby

The shower of answers to your prayers will continue to your dying hour. Nor will it cease then. When you pass out from beneath the shower your dear ones will step into it. Every prayer and every sigh which you have uttered for them and their future welfare will in God's time descend upon them as a gentle rain of answers to prayer.
— O. Hallesby

If we will make use of prayer to call down upon ourselves and others those things which will glorify the name of God then we shall see the strongest and boldest promises of the Bible about prayer fulfilled. Then we shall see such answers to prayer as we had never thought were possible.
— O. Hallesby

If we pray for anything according to the will of God we already have what we pray for the moment we ask it. We do not know exactly when it will arrive but we have learned to know God through the Spirit of God and have learned to leave this in His hands and to live just as happily whether the answer arrives immediately or later.
— O. Hallesby

It is God's will not only to hear our prayer but to give us the best and the richest answer which He the almighty and omniscient God can devise. He will send us the answer when it will benefit us and His cause the most.
— O. Hallesby

If God does not give you something you ask for wait on Him. He will speak with you tenderly and sympathetically about the matter until you yourself understand that He cannot grant your prayer.
— O. Hallesby

Be sure to remember that nothing in your daily life is so insignificant and so inconsequential that the Lord will not help you by answering your prayer.
— O. Hallesby
