Prayer is the most sacred occupation a person could engage in.

The unbelieving mind would not be convinced by any proof, and the worshiping heart needs none.

Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.

Let us practice the fine art of making every work a priestly ministration. Let us believe that God is in all our simple deeds and learn to find Him there.

We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.

The key to prayer is simply praying.

It is altogether doubtful whether any man can be saved who comes to Christ for His help with no intention to obey Him.
