The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.

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.

It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.

Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.

No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.

Enthusiasm is more active than faith, though enthusiasm cannot remove mountains nor call into action any of the omnipotent forces which faith can command. Activity is often at the expense of more solid, useful elements, and generally to the total neglect of prayer. To be too busy with God's work to commune with God, to be busy with doing church work without taking time to talk to God about His work, is the highway to backsliding, and many people have walked therein to the hurt of their immortal souls.

Praying men are God's agents on earth, the representative of government of Heaven, set to a specific task on the earth.
