"God is keenly aware that we are dependent upon Him for life's necessities. It was for that reason that He said, 'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.'" —Billy Graham

"Our lives speak loudly to those around us, especially the children in our home." —Billy Graham

“For believers, our destination is ‘set,’ and no one can steal our inheritance from us. We know that we are in a temporary place—pilgrims and strangers in a foreign land. This world is not our home. Our citizenship is in Heaven.” —Billy Graham

“If we do not pay attention to the little things that distract us, we will find ourselves in the midst of a big thing that will undo us.” —Billy Graham

“Say yes to Christ. It involves a choice of your intellect. It is a choice of your emotions. It is a choice of your will. It must be a choice of your total personality, yielded to Christ by faith in Him.” —Billy Graham

"The mark of a true Christian is found in his personal relationship to the Person of Jesus Christ." —Billy Graham

More than seven decades ago, Billy Graham held a peace rally on the east steps of the United States Capitol building, urging America to turn to the Lord in prayer. On Feb. 3, 1952, an estimated 40,000 people gathered despite the rain to be reminded that in times of uncertainty, we’re called not only to reflection, but to repentance and renewed faith.

“All you have to do is open your heart and let Christ come in,” Mr. Graham said. “Believe on Him, receive Him with all of your heart, make Him Lord and Master and King.”

Within two days, legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives and passed by unanimous vote after committee action. In April 1952, President Harry Truman signed the joint resolution into law, establishing the National Day of Prayer. Today, go to God with bold faith and pray for our nation.

“We are the ‘light of the world,’ and light exposes evil. We are the salt, and it adds flavor. If we are at peace with this world, it may be because we have sold out to it and compromised with it.” —Billy Graham

In October of 1967, Billy Graham shared the hope of the Gospel at the Budokan in Tokyo, Japan. Over the course of ten days, more than 191,000 people came to hear the simple message of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection, and many responded to this Good News.

On May 4-5, his grandson, @WillGraham_4, will return to Japan to preach the powerful message of a risen Savior during the Love and Hope in Shikoku Celebration. Please pray that God will move mightily once again and that hearts across this nation will be transformed by His love.

“The Almighty God, the Creator of the whole universe, loves you and is interested in you as if you were the only person who ever lived. Even when we sin against Him, He still wants to put His arms around us and say, ‘I love you.’” —Billy Graham

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” (Isaiah 40:8)

“If we have our eyes upon ourselves, our problems and pain, we cannot lift our eyes upward. A child looks up when he’s walking with his father, and the same should be true for the Christian.” —Billy Graham

“It was God’s love which knew that men were incapable of obeying His law, and it was His love which promised a Redeemer, a Savior, who would save His people from their sin.” —Billy Graham

[Billy Graham @BillyGraham]

"It wasn't the vicious spikes that held Christ to the cross—it was the unbreakable cords of God's love that bound Him there. For you! For me! He bore our sins in His body upon the cross." —Billy Graham

"Death is not the end of the story for you as a Christian ... We are just pilgrims passing through this physical world with its pain and suffering. There is life beyond death! This is the clear-cut promise of God in the Bible." —Billy Graham

[Billy Graham @BillyGraham]

"It is the Word of God that breaks through the storm clouds of life that engulf us. The light of God's presence in our lives is a purifying flame that will draw us near to Him." —Billy Graham

[Billy Graham @BillyGraham]

“If there are any tears shed in Heaven, they will be over the fact that we prayed so little. Prayers have no boundaries. They can leap miles and continents, and be translated instantly into any language. True prayer is a way of life, not just for use in emergencies. We must make it a habit, and when the need arises, we will be practiced up! Prayer is the voice of faith directed to God. When we know Him personally, we can be sure that God hears our prayers. What a wonderful thought!” —Billy Graham

On this World Day of Prayer, may we be reminded to make prayer not just a response to need, but a daily habit of faith, trusting that God hears us when we call on Him.

"Never forget: for the Christian, this life is not all, nor should our physical wellbeing be our life's highest goal. Christ is our life, and someday we will go to be with Him for all eternity." —Billy Graham

"A true servant of God is someone who helps another succeed." —Billy Graham

"Because of the brevity of life, the Bible warns that we should be prepared to meet God at all times." —Billy Graham
