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 goal of prayer is the ear of God, a goal that can only be reached by patient and continued and continuous waiting upon Him, pouring out our heart to Him and permitting Him to speak to us. Only by so doing can we expect to know Him, and as we come to know Him better we shall spend more time in His presence and find that presence a constant and ever-increasing delight.

Prayer is the lungs through which holiness breathes. Prayer is not only the language of spiritual life, but also makes its very essence and forms its real character. O for a faith that will not shrink though pressed by every foe; That will not tremble on the brink of any earthly woe. Lord, give us such a faith as this... whatever may come.

Bread for today is bread enough.

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

Prayer, like faith, obtains promises, enlarges their operation, and adds to the measure of their results.
