The resurrection of Jesus Christ was necessary to establish the truth of his mission and put the stamp of all-conquering power on his gospel.

We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ

I feel it is far better to begin with God, to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another. In general it is best to have at least one hour alone with God before engaging in anything else.

Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.

The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees.

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

We can never expect to grow in the likeness of our Lord unless we follow His example and give more time to communion with the Father. A revival of real praying would produce a spiritual revolution.
