. . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.

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

God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor's door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.

Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need.

He who is too busy to pray will be too busy to live a holy life. Satan had rather we let the grass grow on the path to our prayer chamber than anything else.
