He who would pray, must obey.
Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need.
Prayer, in one phase of its operation, is a disinfectant and a preventive. It purifies the air; it destroys the contagion of evil.
The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy.
Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.
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.
