Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.

To give prayer the secondary place is to make God seconday in life's affairs.

. . . 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.

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 never expect to grow in the likeness of our Lord unless we follow His example and give more time to communion with the Father. A revival of real praying would produce a spiritual revolution.

Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.
