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

To give prayer the secondary place is to make God seconday in life's affairs.

Enthusiasm is more active than faith, though enthusiasm cannot remove mountains nor call into action any of the omnipotent forces which faith can command. Activity is often at the expense of more solid, useful elements, and generally to the total neglect of prayer. To be too busy with God's work to commune with God, to be busy with doing church work without taking time to talk to God about His work, is the highway to backsliding, and many people have walked therein to the hurt of their immortal souls.

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

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.

God's willingness to answer our prayers exceeds our willingness to give good and necessary things to our children, just as far as God's ability, goodness and perfection exceed our infirmities and evil.

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