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

Prayer is the only way to amend your life: and without prayer, it will never be mended.

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.

You’re not likely to err by practicing too much of the cross.

Prayer worth calling prayer, prayer that God will call true prayer and will treat as true prayer, takes for more time by the clock than one man in a thousand thinks.

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

You do not really care for God's mercy or His comfort either, so long as you live in any sin. And it is well that you do not; for you can have neither. Your peace will be like a river, when you put away your sin; but not one word of true peace, not one drop of true comfort, can you have till then.
