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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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