John CalvinSome great quotes from John Calvin on prayer…

“Oh Lord, Heavenly Father, in Whom is the fullness of light and wisdom, enlighten our minds by Your Holy Spirit, and give us grace to receive Your Word with reverence and humility, without which no one can understand Your truth.” —John Calvin

“O grant that we may learn to rely wholly on Your goodness.” —John Calvin

“Prayer is the spade with which we dig up all the promises in God’s garden.” – John Calvin  

“Whenever men are to pray to God concerning any great matter, it would be expedient to appoint fasting along with prayer. Their sole purpose in this kind of fasting is to render themselves more eager and unencumbered for prayer… with a full stomach our mind is not so lifted up to God.” – John Calvin
