He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.

The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day.

Trust is faith that has become absolute, approved, and accomplished. When all is said and done, there is a sort of risk in faith and its exercise. But trust is firm belief; it is faith in full bloom. Trust is a conscious act, a fact of which we are aware.

A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.

The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.

A severe apprenticeship in the trade of praying must be served in order to become a journeyman in it.
