We’re currently midway through our Week of Prayer and Fasting at Redeemer Church London, which began on Sunday and runs until this Friday.

There are meetings every evening at The Hub so we can pray for and with one another, while you can also get involved with virtual prayer meetings from home.

For a bit of inspiration from the past, take a look at these eight great quotes about prayer and fasting - which our pastor Pete Cornford mentioned in Sunday’s sermon.

"If you want to humble a man, ask him about his prayer life" - Alexander Whyte

"Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tyre?" - Corrie Ten Boom
"Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means for getting something for ourselves; the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself" - Oswald Chambers
"Fasting without prayer is hunger strike. Prayer without fasting lacks depth. But when both are combined, they create an altar of fire that the devil cannot resist." - Apostle E.H. Guti
"God does nothing but in answer to prayer" - John Wesley
"I have a very busy day today; must spend not two but three hours in prayer" - Martin Luther
"Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food." - Dallas Willard
"We can accomplish a lot with prayer and fasting" - Lailah Gifty Akita
