If we would have God in the closet, God must have us out of the closet. There is no way of praying to God, but by living to God.

The ministry of prayer, if it be anything worthy of the name, is a ministry of ardor, a ministry of unwearied and intense longing after God and after his holiness.

The world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.

If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

Praying that does not result in right thinking and right living is a farce. We have missed the whole office of prayer if it fails to purge our character and correct conduct. We have failed entirely to understand the virtue of prayer, if it does not bring about the revolutionizing of life. In the very nature of tings, we must either quit praying or quit our bad conduct.

God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.

The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.
