Safety is in Heaven. Put your values there only; put your heart there. No tears are there to flood your heart, no sorrows there to break it, no losses there to grieve and embitter.

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.

Little praying is a kind of make believe, a salve for the conscience, a farce and a delusion.

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.

Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.

Prayer puts God's work in his hands-and keeps it there.

Christianity is not rationalism, but faith in Gods revelation. A conspicuous, all-important item in that revelation is the resurrection of the body.
