Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things; the simplest and the sublimest; the weakest and the most powerful; its results lie outside the range of human possibilities-they are limited only by the omnipotence of God.
Edward McKendree Boundsif the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.
Edward McKendree BoundsA man can pray better because of the prayers of the past; a man can live holier because of the prayers of the past; the man of many and acceptable prayers has done the truest and greatest service to the incoming generation.
Edward McKendree BoundsEvery mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
Edward McKendree BoundsLittle praying is a kind of make believe, a salve for the conscience, a farce and a delusion.
Edward McKendree BoundsPaul, Luther, Wesley โwhat would these chosen ones of God be without the distinguishing and controlling element of prayer? They were leaders for God because mighty in prayer. They were not leaders because of brilliancy in thought, because exhaustless in resources, because of their magnificent culture or native endowment, but leaders because by the power of prayer they could command the power of God.
