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

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

Only once did God choose a completely sinless preacher.

Admit sin, and you banish prayer. But, on the other hand, entertain, and encourage, and practice prayer, and sin will sooner or later flee before it.

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

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

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