God's willingness to answer our prayers exceeds our willingness to give good and necessary things to our children, just as far as God's ability, goodness and perfection exceed our infirmities and evil.

Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.

That man is the most immortal who has done the most and the best praying. They are God heroes, God's saints, God's servants, God's vicegerents.

Jesus taught that perseverance is the essential element in prayer.

Prayer, like faith, obtains promises, enlarges their operation, and adds to the measure of their results.

Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.

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