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

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor's door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God

Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.

Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.

A man can pray better because of the prayers of the past; a man can live holier because of the prayers of the past; the man of many and acceptable prayers has done the truest and greatest service to the incoming generation.

Jesus taught that perseverance is the essential element in prayer.
