Praying which does not result in pure conduct is a delusion. We have missed the whole office and virtue of praying if it does not rectify conduct. It is in the very nature of things that we must quit praying, or quit bad conduct.

Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.

Prayer is the lungs through which holiness breathes. Prayer is not only the language of spiritual life, but also makes its very essence and forms its real character. O for a faith that will not shrink though pressed by every foe; That will not tremble on the brink of any earthly woe. Lord, give us such a faith as this... whatever may come.

We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.

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

Prayer puts God's work in his hands-and keeps it there.

Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.
