Prayer makes a godly man, and puts within him "the mind of Christ," the mind of humility, of self-surrender, of service, of pity, and of prayer. If we really pray, we will become more like God, or else we will quit praying.
Edward McKendree BoundsThe greatest value in trouble comes to those who bow lowest before the throne.
Edward McKendree BoundsPrayer is the one prime, eternal condition by which the Father is pledged to put the Son in possession of the world. Christ prays through His people. Had there been importunate, universal, and continuous prayer by God's people, long ere this the earth had been possessed for Christ.
Edward McKendree BoundsThat 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.
