The sooner I learn to forget myself in the desire that He may be glorified, the richer will be the blessing that prayer will bring to myself. No one ever loses by what he sacrifices to the Father.

Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of God's forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith.

Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.

Fellow-Christians, do let us study the Bible portrait of the humble man. And let us ask our brethren, and ask the world, whether they recognize in us the likeness to the original.

How different our standard is from Christ's. We ask how much a man gives. Christ asks how much he keeps.

The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.

We must begin to believe that God, in the mystery of prayer, has entrusted us with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down to earth.
