Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.

if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ

Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer.

The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees.

The possibilities of prayer are found in its allying itself with the purposes of God, for God's purposes and man's praying are the combination of all potent and omnipotent forces.

We cannot talk to God strongly when we have not lived for God strongly. The closet cannot be made holy to God when the life has not been holy to God.
