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

If you find your life of prayer to be always so short, and so easy, and so spiritual, as to be without cost and strain and sweat to you, you may depend upon it, you have not yet begun to pray.

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!

Grace, then, is grace,--that is to say, it is sovereign, it is free, it is sure, it is unconditional, and it is everlasting.

But grace has only one direction that it can take. Grace always flows down.

No man's prayer is acceptable with God whose life is not well pleasing before God.

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