Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.

Heavenly citizenship and heavenly homesickness are in prayer. Prayer is an appeal from the lowness, from the emptiness, from the need of earth, to the highness, the fullness and to the all-sufficiency of heaven.

God shapes the world by prayer. The prayers of God's saints are the capitol stock of heaven by which God carries on His great work upon the earth.

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.

We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.

To give prayer the secondary place is to make God seconday in life's affairs.

Bread for today is bread enough.
