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.

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 men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. 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 can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ

When trust is perfect and there is no doubt, prayer is simply the outstretched hand ready to receive.

The prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.

Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
