Little praying is a kind of make believe, a salve for the conscience, a farce and a delusion.

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.

Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.

No insistence in the Scripture is more pressing than that we must pray...How clear it is, when the Bible is consulted, that the almighty God is brought directly into the things of this world by the prayers of His people.

Pray for 'all men.' We usually pray more for things than we do for men. Our prayers should be thrown across their pathway as they rush in their downward course to a lost eternity.

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

Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
