Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it. Painstaking care, much thought, practice and labour are required to be a skillful tradesman in praying. Practice in this, as well as in all other trades, makes perfect.

Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God

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.

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

The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.

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

A severe apprenticeship in the trade of praying must be served in order to become a journeyman in it.
