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

Prayer makes a godly man, and puts within him "the mind of Christ," the mind of humility, of self-surrender, of service, of pity, and of prayer. If we really pray, we will become more like God, or else we will quit praying.

Walking with God down the avenue of prayer we acquire something of His likeness, and unconsciously we become witnesses to others of His beauty and His grace.

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

. . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.

Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.

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