God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.

Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.

He who would pray, must obey.

The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.

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.

Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.

The greatest value in trouble comes to those who bow lowest before the throne.
