Prayer, in one phase of its operation, is a disinfectant and a preventive. It purifies the air; it destroys the contagion of evil.

Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.

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

A severe apprenticeship in the trade of praying must be served in order to become a journeyman in it.

Prayer is our most formidable weapon, the thing which makes all else we do efficient.

God shapes the world by prayer. The prayers of God's saints are the capitol stock of heaven by which God carries on His great work upon the earth.

True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying; we cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the worth of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer. There is nothing which it takes more time to learn.
