Prayer is the one prime, eternal condition by which the Father is pledged to put the Son in possession of the world. Christ prays through His people. Had there been importunate, universal, and continuous prayer by God's people, long ere this the earth had been possessed for Christ.
Edward McKendree BoundsLittle praying is a kind of make believe, a salve for the conscience, a farce and a delusion.
Edward McKendree BoundsWe can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.
Edward McKendree BoundsThe little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
