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

Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.

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

Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.

Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.

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

Other duties become pressing and absorbing and crowd our prayer. "Choked to death" would be the coroner's verdict in many cases of dead praying if an inquest could be secured on this dire, spiritual calamity.
