Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.

None but praying leaders can have praying followers. A praying pulpit will beget praying pews. We do greatly need pastors and evangelists who will set the saints to this business of praying. We are not a generation of praying saints. Who will restore this breach? The greatest will he be of reformers who can set the Church to praying.

Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing.

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

Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it. Painstaking care, much thought, practice and labour are required to be a skillful tradesman in praying. Practice in this, as well as in all other trades, makes perfect.

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

The prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.
