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.

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

A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.

Our praying, to be strong, must be buttressed by holy living. The life of faith perfects the prayer of faith.

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.

We cannot talk to God strongly when we have not lived for God strongly. The closet cannot be made holy to God when the life has not been holy to God.

The possibilities of prayer are found in its allying itself with the purposes of God, for God's purposes and man's praying are the combination of all potent and omnipotent forces.
