Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.
Prayer puts God's work in his hands-and keeps it there.
We must lose all for Christ in order to gain all for Christ.
Prayer in Jesus' name puts the crowning crown on God, because it glorifies Him through the Son and it pledges the Son to give to men 'whatsoever and anything' they shall ask.
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.
