if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.

Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still. He will never talk well and with real success to men for God who has not learned well how to talk to God for men.

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

True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying; we cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the worth of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer. There is nothing which it takes more time to learn.

Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.

The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.

The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.
