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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
