There are two ways to read Scripture - the way a lawyer reads a will and the way an heir reads a will.

No prayer!-No faith!-No Christ in the heart. Little prayer!-Little faith!-Little Christ in the heart. Increasing prayer!-Increasing faith!-Increasing Christ in the heart!. Much prayer!-Much faith!-Much Christ in the heart! Praying always!-Faith always!-Christ always!

Prayer is a rising up and a drawing near to God in mind and in heart, and in spirit.

I am as certain as I am standing here, that the secret of much mischief to our own souls, and to the souls of others, lies in the way that we stint, and starve, and scamp our prayers, by hurrying over them.

If you would move me with your preaching, or with your praying, or with your singing, first be moved yourself.

The greatest and best talent that God gives to any man or woman in this world is the talent of prayer.

Every kind of prayer, not intercessory prayer only, which is the highest kind of prayer, but all prayer, from the lowest kind to the highest, is impossible in a life of known and allowed sin.
