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

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.

We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.

Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God

The most important lesson we can learn is how to pray. Prayers do not die, prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them.

The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.
