The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.

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

It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing.

In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.

Trust perfected is prayer perfected. Trust looks to receive the thing asked for and gets it. Trust is not a belief that God can bless or that He will bless, but that He does bless, here and now. Trust always operates in the present tense. Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses. Trust receives what prayer acquires. So, what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.

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

Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer.
