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

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.

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

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.

And then, what is grace? Grace is love. But grace is not love simply, and purely, and alone. Grace and love are, in their innermost essence, one and the same thing.

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.
