We must lose all for Christ in order to gain all for Christ.

Prayer succeeds when all else fails

Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.

No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.

When trust is perfect and there is no doubt, prayer is simply the outstretched hand ready to receive.

The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy.

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.
