Prayer is far-reaching in its influence and worldwide in its effects. It affects all men, affects them everywhere, and affects them in all things. It touches man's interest in time and eternity. It lays hold upon God and moves Him to interfere in the affairs of earth. It moves the angels to minister to men in this life. It restrains and defeats the devil in his schemes to ruin man. Prayer goes everywhere and lays its hand upon everything.

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

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

Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.

It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.

Prayer and a holy life are one. They mutually act and react. Neither can survive alone. The absence of the one is the absence of the other.
