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

Hope looks toward the future. Trust looks to the present. Hope expects. Trust possesses...what prayer needs, at all times, is abiding and abundant trust.

Prayer is our most formidable weapon, the thing which makes all else we do efficient.

God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil

Safety is in Heaven. Put your values there only; put your heart there. No tears are there to flood your heart, no sorrows there to break it, no losses there to grieve and embitter.

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.

The prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.
