Prayer succeeds when all else fails

The ministry of prayer, if it be anything worthy of the name, is a ministry of ardor, a ministry of unwearied and intense longing after God and after his holiness.

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor's door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.

God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.

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

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.
