Prayer is a specific divine appointment, an ordinance of Heaven, whereby God purposes to carry out His gracious designs on earth and to execute and make efficient the plan of salvation.

Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.

The conditions of praying are the conditions of righteousness, holiness, and salvation.

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor's door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.

Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.

The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
