Prayer in Jesus' name puts the crowning crown on God, because it glorifies Him through the Son and it pledges the Son to give to men 'whatsoever and anything' they shall ask.

You will find out that in the measure you have allowed yourself to look back you have missed that which God has for you.

It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.

Paul, Luther, Wesley —what would these chosen ones of God be without the distinguishing and controlling element of prayer? They were leaders for God because mighty in prayer. They were not leaders because of brilliancy in thought, because exhaustless in resources, because of their magnificent culture or native endowment, but leaders because by the power of prayer they could command the power of God.

We must lose all for Christ in order to gain all for Christ.

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.
